Adhyāya 60: Dāna vs. Yajña—Royal Giving, Protection, and Karmic Share
पुरुषप्रवर! तब शक्तिशाली राजा युधिष्ठिरने पाण्डवोंसे कहा--“वीरमार्गके विषयमें पितामहका जो कथन है, उसीमें तुम सब लोगोंकी रुचि होनी चाहिये' ।।
tatas tu pāṇḍavāḥ sarve draupadī ca yaśasvinī | yudhiṣṭhirasya tad vākyaṃ bāḍham ity abhipūjayan ||
人の中の最勝者よ。力ある王ユディシュティラはパーンダヴァたちに言った。「武人の道については、祖父（ビーシュマ）が語られたその言葉こそ、汝らすべての心にかなうべきである。」するとパーンダヴァ一同と名高きドラウパディーは、「まことに然り」と答えてユディシュティラの言葉を敬って受けた。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic discipline: when a rightful leader articulates guidance grounded in elder authority and the warrior code, the community’s proper response is respectful assent and alignment of intention with that teaching.
After Yudhiṣṭhira speaks (in context, endorsing the grandsire’s instruction on the heroic/warrior path), all the Pāṇḍavas and Draupadī respond together, approving his words with “bāḍham”—a formal, respectful acceptance.
