Translation

Sañjaya said: Then, when the matter had been settled and the troops had been withdrawn, the Pāṇḍava-aligned kings there were filled with joy. Going to their camp at night, those rulers took rest—signaling a brief pause in the violence and a momentary restoration of order amid the moral strain of war.
