Dvaipāyana-hrade Duryodhanasya Māyā — Yudhiṣṭhirasya Dharmoktiḥ (Śalya-parva, Adhyāya 30)

ततः स्वशिबिरं प्राप्य व्यतिष्ठन्त ससैनिका: । दुर्योधनकी खोज करते-करते जब पाण्डवोंके वाहन बहुत थक गये, तब सभी पाण्डव सैनिकोंसहित अपने शिविरमें आकर ठहर गये

tataḥ svaśibiraṃ prāpya vyatiṣṭhanta sasainikāḥ |

സഞ്ജയൻ പറഞ്ഞു—പിന്നീട് അവർ സ്വന്തം ശിബിരത്തിലെത്തി സൈന്യസഹിതം അവിടെ തന്നെ നിലകൊണ്ടു. ദുര്യോധനനെ തേടി തേടി അവരുടെ വാഹനങ്ങൾ അത്യന്തം ക്ഷീണിച്ചതിനാൽ പാണ്ഡവർ സേനയോടുകൂടി ശിബിരത്തിൽ തിരിച്ചെത്തി തങ്ങി।

Educational Q&A

Even in righteous struggle, action must be tempered by discernment: when pursuit exhausts men and mounts, it is prudent to withdraw, consolidate, and preserve strength rather than press on blindly.

After an extended search for Duryodhana that leaves their mounts worn out, the Pāṇḍavas, accompanied by their troops, reach their own camp and halt there.
