द्रोणपर्व (अध्याय ११२) — कर्णभीमयोर्युद्धम्, दुर्योधनस्य रक्षणादेशः
Droṇa-parva 112: Karṇa–Bhīma Engagement and Duryodhana’s Protective Order
भीमसेनो वयं चैव संयत्ता: सहसैनिका: । द्रोणमावारयिष्यामो यदि त्वां प्रति यास्यति,भीमसेन और हमलोग अपने सैनिकोंके साथ सब प्रकारसे सावधान हैं। यदि द्रोणाचार्य तुम्हारा पीछा करेंगे तो हम सब लोग उन्हें रोकेंगे
bhīmaseno vayaṃ caiva saṃyattāḥ sahasainikāḥ | droṇam āvārayiṣyāmo yadi tvāṃ prati yāsyati ||
ಭೀಮಸೇನನೂ ನಾವೂ ಸೈನ್ಯಸಹಿತ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಸಿದ್ಧರಾಗಿದ್ದೇವೆ. ದ್ರೋಣನು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಹಿಂಬಾಲಿಸಲು ಬಂದರೆ, ನಾವು ಅವನನ್ನು ತಡೆದು ನಿಲ್ಲಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच
In the midst of war, dharma includes safeguarding comrades through disciplined coordination. Yudhiṣṭhira emphasizes collective readiness and protective duty—restraining a powerful opponent not for personal glory, but to prevent harm to an ally and to uphold strategic responsibility.
Yudhiṣṭhira assures the addressed person that Bhīma and the Pāṇḍava side, backed by their troops, are prepared to intercept Droṇa. If Droṇa attempts to chase that person, they will block and restrain him, indicating a tactical plan to manage Droṇa’s movements on the battlefield.
