"५५४ 407-#495 #॥ त॑ तथा विरथं दृष्टवा रथमारोप्य तं॑ तदा
Transliteration
taṁ tathā virathaṁ dṛṣṭvā ratham āropya taṁ tadā
Translation
ಸಂಜಯನು ಹೇಳಿದರು: ಅವನನ್ನು ಹೀಗೆ ರಥವಿಲ್ಲದವನಾಗಿ ಕಂಡು ಅವರು ಅವನನ್ನು ಎತ್ತಿ ರಥದ ಮೇಲೆ ಕುಳ್ಳಿರಿಸಿದರು. ಯುದ್ಧದ ಗೊಂದಲದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಇದು ಧರ್ಮ—ಸಂಕಟದಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಮಿತ್ರನನ್ನು ತ್ಯಜಿಸದೆ, ಯೋಧನ ಯುದ್ಧಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯವನ್ನು ಉಳಿಸುವುದು.

Educational Q&A
Even in war, one should not abandon a comrade in immediate vulnerability; restoring an ally’s means to act (here, placing him on a chariot) reflects responsibility and solidarity within one’s side.
Sañjaya narrates that someone is seen ‘viratha’ (without a chariot), and others promptly place him onto a chariot so he can rejoin the ongoing combat.
