Kaurava Mobilization at Kurukṣetra (Duryodhana Orders War Preparations) / कुरुक्षेत्रे धार्तराष्ट्र-सैन्यसज्जा
शकटापणवेशाश्व यानयुग्यं च सर्वश: । कोशं यन्त्रायुधं चैव ये च वैद्याश्विकित्सका:,सामान ढोनेवाली गाड़ी, बाजार, डेरे-तम्बू, रथ आदि सवारी, खजाना, यन्त्रचालित अस्त्र और चिकित्साकुशल वैद्य भी उनके साथ-साथ चले
śakaṭāpaṇa-veśāśva-yānayugyaṃ ca sarvaśaḥ | kośaṃ yantrāyudhaṃ caiva ye ca vaidyāśva-cikitsakāḥ ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。彼らとともに、軍を支えるあらゆる備えもまた進んだ—荷を運ぶ車、物資の市と陣営の道具、轅に繋ぐに足る馬と乗り物、国庫、機巧の武器、そして馬の治療に長けた医師たちである。このくだりは、戦が英雄の激突にとどまらず、兵站と資源、専門の手当てによって支えられる巨大で組織だった営みであることを示している。

The verse highlights that large-scale conflict depends on disciplined organization—supplies, treasury, technology, and medical care—implying ethical responsibility in governance and warfare: leaders must account for the welfare and support systems that sustain an army, not merely valor in battle.
Vaiśampāyana describes the entourage moving together with the main force: carts, market provisions, camp equipment, horses and harnessed vehicles, the treasury, mechanical weapons, and specialists such as horse-doctors, indicating a fully provisioned march or mobilization.
