युद्धसंग्रहः
Kurukṣetra Campaign in Summary
गोविन्द: सात्यकिश्वैव जगाम भवनं स्वकम् | तदनन्तर सबसे सम्मानित हो भगवान् श्रीकृष्णने अपने सुन्दर भवनमें प्रवेश किया और सात्यकि भी अपने घरमें गये
govindaḥ sātyakiś caiva jagāma bhavanaṃ svakam |
ਸਭ ਵੱਲੋਂ ਸਨਮਾਨਿਤ ਗੋਵਿੰਦ (ਸ਼੍ਰੀਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ) ਆਪਣੇ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਨਿਵਾਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਪ੍ਰਵੇਸ਼ ਕਰ ਗਏ; ਅਤੇ ਸਾਤ੍ਯਕੀ ਵੀ ਆਪਣੇ ਘਰ ਚਲਾ ਗਿਆ।
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
A subtle dharmic ideal: after fulfilling public responsibilities and receiving due honor, one returns to one’s proper station without excess display—order, restraint, and propriety mark a well-governed life.
Vaiśampāyana narrates a simple transition: Śrī Kṛṣṇa (Govinda) enters his own residence, and Sātyaki likewise goes to his home, indicating the conclusion of a public episode and a return to normalcy.
