एवमुक्तो ययौ पार्थान् पुत्रेण तव सौबल: । महत्या सेनया सार्ध सह पुत्रैश्न ते विभो,प्रभो! आपके पुत्र दुर्योधनके ऐसा कहनेपर शकुनि विशाल सेना और आपके अन्य पुत्रोंके साथ कुन्तीकुमारोंका सामना करनेके लिये गया
sañjaya uvāca |
evam ukto yayau pārthān putreṇa tava saubalaḥ |
mahatyā senayā sārdha saha putraiś ca te vibho ||
Sañjaya said: Thus addressed by your son, Śakuni of the Saubala line set out to confront the Pāṇḍavas, accompanied by a vast army and also by your sons, O mighty lord. The verse underscores how counsel and command in war swiftly translate into mobilization, drawing kin and forces into escalating conflict.
