Shloka 86
Dvaipāyana-hrade Duryodhanasya Māyā — Yudhiṣṭhirasya Dharmoktiḥ (Śalya-parva, Adhyāya 30)
ततः स्वशिबिरं प्राप्य व्यतिष्ठन्त ससैनिका: । दुर्योधनकी खोज करते-करते जब पाण्डवोंके वाहन बहुत थक गये, तब सभी पाण्डव सैनिकोंसहित अपने शिविरमें आकर ठहर गये
tataḥ svaśibiraṃ prāpya vyatiṣṭhanta sasainikāḥ |
サञ्जयは語った。やがて彼らは自軍の陣営に帰り着き、兵とともにそこに留まった。ドゥルヨーダナを捜し続けて乗騎がひどく疲れ果てたため、パーンドゥの子らは軍勢を率いて引き返し、陣中に布陣した—追撃には限りがあり、戦の重圧の中で立て直しが要ることを暗に悟ったのである。

Educational Q&A
Even in righteous struggle, action must be tempered by discernment: when pursuit exhausts men and mounts, it is prudent to withdraw, consolidate, and preserve strength rather than press on blindly.
After an extended search for Duryodhana that leaves their mounts worn out, the Pāṇḍavas, accompanied by their troops, reach their own camp and halt there.
