भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ६२: वासुदेवमहात्म्यप्रशंसा (देव–ब्रह्मसंवादः)
ततो दुर्योधनो राजा समाश्वस्य विशाम्पते । न्यवर्तयत तत् सैन्यं द्रवमाणं समनन््ततः,प्रजानाथ! इसी बीचमें राजा दुर्योधनकी मूर्च्छा दूर हो गयी और उसने आश्वस्त होकर चारों ओर भागती हुई सेनाको पुनः लौटाया
tato duryodhano rājā samāśvasya viśāmpate | nyavartayat tat sainyaṁ dravamāṇaṁ samanantataḥ ||
そのときドゥルヨーダナ王は正気を取り戻し、民の主よ、軍を励まして、四方へ散って逃げていた軍勢を引き返させた。戦場の道義が乱れる渦中にあって、王の決意の回復がただちに原因となり、カウラヴァ軍は恐慌のうちに崩れ落ちるのではなく、再び隊伍を整えたのである。

In warfare, collective outcomes often hinge on leadership and morale: when a leader regains steadiness, panic can be checked and order restored. Ethically, the verse highlights how inner composure (self-control) becomes a decisive force amid external chaos.
Sanjaya reports that Duryodhana recovers from his disorientation, takes heart, and successfully turns back the Kaurava troops who were scattering and fleeing in all directions, reconstituting the battle line.
