Pāṇḍava-senā-niryāṇa and Vyūha-vibhāga (पाण्डवसेनानिर्याण तथा व्यूहविभाग)
तदवस्थं तदा दृष्टवा पार्थ सा समितिर्नप । नामृष्यन्त महाराज पाण्डवानां महारथा:
tad-avasthaṃ tadā dṛṣṭvā pārtha sā samitir nṛpa | nāmṛṣyanta mahārāja pāṇḍavānāṃ mahārathāḥ ||
Sañjaya berkata: Wahai raja, apabila keadaan itu terlihat, majlis para pahlawan—wahai putera Pṛthā—tidak dapat menahannya. Wahai maharaja, para maharathi Pāṇḍava tidak sanggup bertoleransi terhadap apa yang berlaku, digerakkan oleh maruah dan keadilan.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a kṣatriya-ethical response: when faced with an intolerable state of affairs—typically implying dishonor or injustice—noble warriors feel compelled to resist rather than silently accept adharma.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that, upon witnessing the prevailing situation, the Pāṇḍava great warriors in the assembly became unable to bear it, indicating rising resolve and tension that pushes events toward confrontation.
