Dvaipāyana-hrade Duryodhanasya Māyā — Yudhiṣṭhirasya Dharmoktiḥ (Śalya-parva, Adhyāya 30)
संनिविष्टेषु पार्थेषु प्रयातास्तं ह॒दं शनै: । तदनन्तर जब कुन्तीके सभी पुत्र शिविरमें विश्राम करने लगे, तब कृपाचार्य, अश्वत्थामा और सात्वतवंशी कृतवर्मा धीरे-धीरे उस सरोवरके तटपर जा पहुँचे
sanniviṣṭeṣu pārtheṣu prayātās taṃ hradaṃ śanaiḥ |
サञ्जयは語った。プṛथāの子ら（パーンダヴァ）が陣営で休息に入ったとき、クリパाचार्य、アシュヴァッターマ、そしてサートヴァタ族のクリタヴァルマンは、ひそやかに、ゆるゆると、その湖の岸へと歩み寄った。この偈は戦後の緊迫し、道義の影を帯びた間を据える—一方は休み、他方は忍び寄る—次なる行いが、正法にかなう公然の戦いよりも、策と激情に駆られていることを暗示する。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a moral contrast: one side rests after battle while the other advances quietly, suggesting that intentions and methods (open combat vs. stealthy approach) matter in evaluating conduct (dharma) even amid war.
After the Pāṇḍavas have settled in their camp, Kṛpa, Aśvatthāmā, and Kṛtavarmā move slowly toward a lake, setting up the next development in the story through a deliberate, quiet approach.
