शेषा नृपतयो वीरा: स्थिता व्यूहस्य दंशिता: । यथाभागं यथोत्साहं यथायत्नं च भारत,भारत! शेष वीर नरेश कवच धारण करके व्यूहके विभिन्न भागोंमें अपने उत्साह और प्रयत्नके अनुसार खड़े हुए थे
śeṣā nṛpatayo vīrāḥ sthitā vyūhasya daṃśitāḥ | yathābhāgaṃ yathotsāhaṃ yathāyatnaṃ ca bhārata ||
Sañjaya said: The remaining warrior-kings, clad in armor, took their stations within the battle-formation—each according to his assigned sector, his courage, and his capacity for effort, O Bhārata. The scene underscores disciplined order amid chaos: duty is carried out not by impulse, but by placement, resolve, and sustained exertion.

Even in warfare, action is framed by role and responsibility: warriors are placed according to assigned duty (bhāga), inner resolve (utsāha), and sustained effort (yatna). The verse highlights disciplined coordination over reckless individualism.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the remaining kings, fully armored, are taking up their respective positions within the arranged battle-formation, each standing where he belongs and fighting in keeping with his strength and zeal.
