Chapter 47: Krauñca-vyūha Deployment and Conch-Signals
Kaurava–Pāṇḍava Readiness
प्रत्यपद्यन्त ते सर्वे स्वरथान् पुरुषर्षभा: । ततो व्यूहं यथापूर्व प्रत्यव्यूहन्त ते पुन:
pratyapadyanta te sarve sva-rathān puruṣarṣabhāḥ | tato vyūhaṃ yathāpūrvaṃ pratyavyūhanta te punaḥ ||
ते सर्व पुरुषश्रेष्ठ पुन्हा आपल्या-आपल्या रथांवर आरूढ झाले. त्यानंतर शत्रूसमोर पूर्वीप्रमाणेच त्यांनी पुन्हा व्यूह रचला.
संजय उवाच
Even in violent conflict, the narrative highlights kṣatriya discipline and organized conduct: warriors return to their stations and restore formation, implying that duty and order are maintained rather than giving way to chaos.
After a disruption in the fighting, the warriors mount their own chariots again and re-establish their military formation, arranging themselves to face the opposing side as they had earlier.
