Indrajit and Lakṣmaṇa: Escalation through Concealment
इत्युक्तौ तौ नरव्याप्रौ ययतुर्यत्र सैन्धव: । राजा निववृते कृष्णामादाय सपुरोहित:,द्रौोपदीके ऐसा कहनेपर वे दोनों नरश्रेष्ठ जिस ओर जयद्रथ गया था, उसी ओर चल दिये तथा राजा युधिष्ठिर द्रौपदीको लेकर पुरोहित धौम्यके साथ आश्रमपर चल पड़े
iti uktau tau naravyāghrau yayatuḥ yatra saindhavaḥ | rājā nivavṛte kṛṣṇām ādāya sapurohitaḥ ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: When those two tiger-like heroes had been thus addressed, they set out in the direction where the Sindhu prince (Jayadratha) had gone. King Yudhiṣṭhira, however, turned back, taking Kṛṣṇā (Draupadī) with him, together with his family priest Dhaumya, and proceeded toward the hermitage—prioritizing her protection and the order of dharma amid crisis.
