Saṃjaya’s Warning to Dhṛtarāṣṭra: Accountability, Alliance-Shift, and the Pāṇḍava Strategic Edge
एवमेतानि स रथे वहज्छवेतहयो रणे
evametāni sa rathe vahañ śvetahayō raṇe
សញ្ជ័យបាននិយាយថា៖ ដូច្នេះ ដោយយកអាវុធ និងការរៀបចំទាំងនេះទាំងអស់ទៅជាមួយ ព្រះអង្គបានចេញដំណើរលើរថ—ដែលទាញដោយសេះពណ៌ស—ចូលទៅកាន់សមរភូមិ ដោយបង្ហាញចិត្តសម្រេច និងការត្រៀមខ្លួន ដែលនាំមុខសង្គ្រាមដ៏សុចរិត។

The verse underscores preparedness and purposeful action: entering battle is not mere aggression but a deliberate step taken after assembling means and resolve, framed within the larger Mahābhārata concern for dharma and rightful conduct.
Sañjaya continues his report, describing a warrior proceeding in a chariot drawn by white horses, carrying the previously mentioned equipment or arrangements, and moving into the battlefield.
