Droṇānīka-praveśa: Arjuna’s respectful appeal to Droṇa and renewed advance toward Jayadratha (द्रोणानीकप्रवेशः)
यत्र भोजनशिष्टस्य पर्वता: पञज्चविंशति:,उस यज्ञमें खाने-पीनेसे बचे हुए अन्नके पचीस पर्वत शेष थे। रसोंको कौशलपूर्वक प्रवाहित करनेवाली कितनी ही छोटी-छोटी नदियाँ तथा वस्त्र, आभूषण और सुगन्धित पदार्थोंकी विभिन्न राशियाँ भी उस समय शेष रह गयी थीं
yatra bhojana-śiṣṭasya parvatāḥ pañcaviṃśatiḥ
Nārada said: In that sacrifice, there remained twenty-five mountain-like heaps of food left over after the feasting. Many small streams—skillfully made to flow with various juices and flavors—also remained, along with assorted stores of garments, ornaments, and fragrant substances. The description underscores the extraordinary abundance of the rite and, by implication, the responsibility to direct such surplus toward righteous distribution rather than waste.
