Jayadratha-rakṣā: Conch Signals and Encirclement of Arjuna
Chapter 79
कुर्याम तद् वयं कर्म क्रियासु सुहृदश्च नः । कृतवान् यादृगद्यैकस्तव पुत्रो महारथ:,“तुम्हारे महारथी पुत्रने अकेले ही आज जैसा पराक्रम किया है, उसे हम और हमारे सुहृद् भी कार्यरूपमें परिणत करें"
kuryāma tad vayaṁ karma kriyāsu suhṛdaś ca naḥ | kṛtavān yādṛg adyaikaḥ tava putro mahārathaḥ ||
“ಇಂದು ನಿನ್ನ ಮಹಾರಥಿ ಪುತ್ರನು ಒಬ್ಬನೇ ಮಾಡಿದಂತಹ ಸಾಹಸವನ್ನು, ನಾವು ಮತ್ತು ನಮ್ಮ ಸುಹೃದರೂ ಈಗ ಕಾರ್ಯರೂಪಕ್ಕೆ ತರೋಣ—ಮುಂದಿರುವ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅದನ್ನು ಸಾರ್ಥಕಗೊಳಿಸೋಣ.”

Educational Q&A
Personal heroism should be supported by collective follow-through: when a leader or champion performs exceptionally, allies have an ethical duty to translate that advantage into coordinated action rather than leaving the burden on one person.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the king’s son has displayed remarkable single-handed prowess in battle that day, and urges that ‘we and our allies’ should now act effectively in ongoing operations to capitalize on that feat.
