Translation
ਸੰਜਯ ਬੋਲਿਆ: ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਇਸ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਰਥ-ਹੀਣ ਵੇਖ ਕੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਨੂੰ ਚੁੱਕ ਕੇ ਰਥ ਉੱਤੇ ਬਿਠਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਜੰਗ ਦੇ ਹੰਗਾਮੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਹੀ ਧਰਮ ਸੀ—ਮੁਸੀਬਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਏ ਸਾਥੀ ਨੂੰ ਨਾ ਛੱਡਣਾ, ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਯੋਧੇ ਦੀ ਲੜਨ ਦੀ ਸਮਰੱਥਾ ਕਾਇਮ ਰਹੇ।

Educational Q&A
Even in war, one should not abandon a comrade in immediate vulnerability; restoring an ally’s means to act (here, placing him on a chariot) reflects responsibility and solidarity within one’s side.
Sañjaya narrates that someone is seen ‘viratha’ (without a chariot), and others promptly place him onto a chariot so he can rejoin the ongoing combat.
