सहदेव–सात्यकि संवादः
Sahadeva and Satyaki on resolve after failed conciliation
मतमाज्ञाय राज्ञश्न भीमसेनेन माधव । संशमो बाहुवीर्य च ख्यापितं माधवात्मन:,यदुकुलभूषण! राजाका मत जानकर भाई भीमसेनने भी पहले संधिस्थापनकी, फिर अपने बाहुबलकी बात बतायी है
matam ājñāya rājñaś ca bhīmasenena mādhava | saṁśamo bāhuvīryaṁ ca khyāpitaṁ mādhavātmanā | yadukulabhūṣaṇa |
ナクーラは言った。「おおマーダヴァよ。王の御意を悟って、ビー マセーナはまず和睦と融和を語り、ついで自らの腕力を宣言した。おおヤドゥ族の飾りよ、あの高き心の者が示した筋道はそのようであった。」

The verse highlights a dharmic sequence in counsel: attempt reconciliation first (saṁśama), but be prepared to assert rightful strength if peace fails. It frames valor as ethically secondary to peace-making, not a substitute for it.
Nakula reports to Kṛṣṇa (Mādhava) that Bhīma, after discerning the king’s stance, first proposed conciliation and then stated his own martial capability—signaling both willingness for peace and readiness for conflict.
