Cosmic Spectatorship and Vows
ततो धनंजयो द्रष्ट राजानं बाणपीडितम् । रथेन प्रययौ क्षिप्रं संग्रामात् केशवाज्ञया,तत्पश्चात् अर्जुन श्रीकृष्णकी आज्ञासे बाणपीड़ित राजा युधिष्ठिरको देखनेके लिये रथके द्वारा युद्धस्थलसे शीघ्रतापूर्वक गये
tato dhanañjayo dṛṣṭvā rājānaṁ bāṇapīḍitam | rathena prayayau kṣipraṁ saṅgrāmāt keśavājñayā ||
അപ്പോൾ ധനഞ്ജയൻ (അർജുനൻ) അമ്പുകളാൽ പീഡിതനായ രാജാവായ (യുധിഷ്ഠിരൻ)നെ കാണുവാൻ കേശവന്റെ ആജ്ഞപ്രകാരം യുദ്ധഭൂമിയിൽ നിന്ന് വേഗത്തിൽ രഥത്തിൽ പുറപ്പെട്ടു।

Educational Q&A
Even in war, right action includes disciplined responsiveness to wise guidance and concern for the rightful leader’s welfare; Arjuna follows Kṛṣṇa’s directive and attends to the wounded king, reflecting dharma through obedience, prudence, and care.
Sañjaya narrates that Arjuna, noticing Yudhiṣṭhira suffering from arrow-wounds, quickly drives his chariot away from the immediate battle area to go and see him, doing so on Kṛṣṇa’s instruction.
