कर्णस्य दानप्रतिज्ञा–शल्योपदेश–वाक्ययुद्धम्
Karna’s Gift-Vows, Shalya’s Counsel, and the Battle of Words
अथ पाण्डुसुता: सर्वे परिवार्य युधिष्ठिरम्
atha pāṇḍusutāḥ sarve parivārya yudhiṣṭhiram
Sañjaya berkata: Kemudian semua putera Pāṇḍu berhimpun mengelilingi Yudhiṣṭhira, merapatkan barisan di sekelilingnya demi kesepaduan dan perlindungan—suatu gambaran kewajipan persaudaraan di tengah tekanan moral peperangan.
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights collective responsibility around righteous leadership: in moments of danger and ethical pressure, those committed to dharma support and protect the one bearing the heaviest moral burden, reinforcing unity and duty over fear or self-interest.
Sañjaya reports that the Pāṇḍavas (Pāṇḍu’s sons) move in and surround Yudhiṣṭhira, forming a protective and supportive circle around their elder brother as the battle situation intensifies.
