Shloka 46
यथा च वो न जानीयाद् ब्रुवतो मम शासनात् | पुनरागमनं चैव तथा कार्यमतन्द्रितै:,“किसीको भी यह नहीं मालूम होना चाहिये कि आपलोग मेरी आज्ञासे ये बातें कह रहे हैं। जब कोई उत्तर मिल जाय, तब आप आलस्य छोड़कर पुनः यहाँ तुरंत लौट आवें
yathā ca vo na jānīyād bruvato mama śāsanāt | punarāgamanaṃ caiva tathā kāryam atandritaiḥ ||
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “See to it that no one comes to know that you are speaking these words under my command. And once you receive a reply, return here again without delay, casting off all negligence.”

Educational Q&A
A leader must combine ethical intent with prudent discretion: sensitive instructions should not be publicly attributed, and entrusted agents must act with alertness and promptness, avoiding negligence.
Yudhiṣṭhira gives operational guidance to his messengers/agents: they should convey the message without revealing it is issued under his authority, and after obtaining a response they must return immediately and diligently.
