Yudhiṣṭhira–Droṇa Saṃgrāma
Engagement and Countermeasures
प्रत्युत्थाय च गोविन्द स तस्मा आसन ददौ । न चासने स्वयं बुद्धि बीभत्सुर्व्यद्धात् तदा,अर्जुनने खड़े होकर गोविन्दको बैठनेके लिये आसन दिया और स्वयं उस समय किसी आसनपर बैठनेका विचार उन्होंने नहीं किया
pratyutthāya ca govinda sa tasmā āsanaṃ dadau | na cāsane svayaṃ buddhiṃ bībhatsur vyadhāt tadā ||
サンジャヤは言った。アルジュナは立ち上がってゴーヴィンダを迎え、座を差し出した。だがその時、パーンドゥの子ビーバツは、自ら座ろうとは露ほども思わなかった。

Educational Q&A
Even in a battlefield setting, dharmic conduct is maintained through humility and proper honor to the worthy. Arjuna’s rising and offering a seat to Govinda models reverence, disciplined ego, and the ethic of honoring one’s guide and benefactor.
Sañjaya narrates that Arjuna stands up to receive Kṛṣṇa (Govinda), offers him a seat, and does not consider sitting himself at that moment—highlighting Arjuna’s respectful demeanor toward Kṛṣṇa amid the events of Droṇa Parva.
