Adhyāya 32: Tāpasānāṃ Darśanaṃ — Ascetics Seek to Identify the Pāṇḍavas
परस्परं समागम्य योधास्ते भरतर्षभ । मुने: प्रसादात् ते होवं क्षत्रिया नष्टमन््यव:
parasparaṁ samāgamya yodhās te bharatarṣabha | muneḥ prasādāt te hovaṁ kṣatriyā naṣṭam anyavaḥ ||
Disse Vaiśampāyana: “Ó touro entre os Bhāratas, aqueles guerreiros, ao se reunirem face a face, pela graça do sábio, foram restaurados ao seu verdadeiro espírito e determinação de Kṣatriya, não mais perdidos nem confusos.”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how a sage’s prasāda (grace/benediction) can restore clarity, courage, and rightful Kṣatriya resolve—suggesting that ethical strength and right action may be rekindled through spiritual guidance rather than mere force.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the warriors assembled and confronted one another; through the intervention or blessing of a sage, they regained their proper warrior disposition, no longer remaining in a ‘lost’ or disoriented state.
