Adhyāya 32: Tāpasānāṃ Darśanaṃ — Ascetics Seek to Identify the Pāṇḍavas
परस्परं समागम्य योधानां भरतर्षभ | भरतश्रेष्ठ] एक-दूसरेसे मिलकर उन योद्धाओंके मनमें शोक, भय, त्रास, उद्वेश और अपयशको स्थान नहीं मिला |। समागतास्ता: पितृभिशभ्रातृभि: पतिभि: सुतैः
parasparaṃ samāgamya yodhānāṃ bharatarṣabha | samāgatās tāḥ pitṛbhiś ca bhrātṛbhiḥ patibhiḥ sutaiḥ ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。「バーラタ族の雄牛よ、あの戦士たちが互いに面と向かって会したとき、彼らは父、兄弟、夫、そして息子たちと再び結ばれた。その会合においては、悲嘆も恐れも狼狽も動揺も、そして不名誉の汚れも、彼らの心に入り込む余地はなかった。」

Educational Q&A
Even in the shadow of catastrophic war, the restoration of rightful relationships—meeting one’s own kin and community—can steady the mind and prevent it from being overwhelmed by grief, fear, and the sense of dishonour.
The narrator describes a scene of mutual meeting and reunion among those connected to the warriors—fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons—emphasizing that this coming together leaves no room for sorrow, terror, agitation, or ill-fame in their hearts.
