Shloka 25
द्रवमाणं तु तत् सैन्यं दृष्टवा विगतचेतनम् । मध्यस्थतां च पार्थस्य धर्मपुत्रो5ब्रवीदिदम्,उन्होंने अपनी उस सेनाको जब अचेत होकर भागती और दुन्तीपुत्र अर्जुनको तटस्थभावसे खड़ा देखा, तब इस प्रकार कहा--
sañjaya uvāca | dravamāṇaṃ tu tat sainyaṃ dṛṣṭvā vigatacetanaṃ | madhyasthatāṃ ca pārthasya dharmaputro 'bravīd idam ||
သဉ္ဇယက ပြော၏— မိမိတပ်တော်သည် စိတ်ပျက်လန့်ဖျား၍ သတိလွတ်သကဲ့သို့ ထွက်ပြေးနေသည်ကို မြင်ပြီး၊ ပाण्डု၏သား ပါရ္ထ (အာర్జုန) သည် အလယ်အလတ်သဘောဖြင့် သီးခြားရပ်နေသည်ကို တွေ့သောအခါ၊ ဓမ္မပုတ্ৰ (ယုဓိဋ္ဌိရ) သည် ဤစကားကို ပြောလေ၏။

Educational Q&A
In a moment of battlefield collapse, the verse highlights the ethical burden of leadership: when troops lose courage and order breaks down, a principal warrior’s neutrality becomes a moral and strategic issue, prompting Dharmaputra to intervene through counsel or command.
Sañjaya reports that the army is fleeing in confusion, and Arjuna is standing aside in a neutral posture; seeing this, Yudhiṣṭhira begins to speak, setting up the next lines of dialogue and decision-making.
