Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 130: Kuntī’s Instruction on Rājadharma and Daṇḍanīti
इहैव पाण्डवा: सर्वे तथैवान्धकवृष्णय: । इहादित्याश्र रुद्राक्ष वसवश्च महर्षिभि:
ihaiva pāṇḍavāḥ sarve tathaivāndhakavṛṣṇayaḥ | ihādityāś ca rudrāś ca vasavaś ca maharṣibhiḥ ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。「ここにまさしくパーンダヴァらは皆おり、ここにもまたアンダカ族とヴリシュニ族の勇士たちがいる。ここにはアーディティヤ神群とルドラ神群、さらにヴァス神群が、大聖仙たちとともに在す。」

Educational Q&A
The verse frames the political crisis as occurring under the gaze of divine and sage-like orders, implying that decisions about war are not merely strategic but ethically accountable within a larger dharmic cosmos.
The narrator points out who is present: the Pāṇḍavas and the allied Yādava clans (Andhakas and Vṛṣṇis), along with groups of gods (Ādityas, Rudras, Vasus) and great seers—emphasizing the magnitude and solemnity of the gathering.
