Disse o Yakṣa: “Traz-os aqui; que o bem te assista. E tu mesmo traz também água.” Assim instruído, Bhīmasena respondeu: “Assim seja”, e partiu em direção àquele lugar. No contexto narrativo, Yudhiṣṭhira—preocupado porque Nakula, Sahadeva e Arjuna demoravam demais na busca de água—envia Bhīma para chamá-los de volta e trazer água, ressaltando a liderança responsável e o cuidado pelos companheiros mesmo em meio à adversidade.

Even in crisis, a leader must act with care for companions and with disciplined obedience to proper instruction. The benediction “bhadraṁ te” frames the command ethically—action should be purposeful, restrained, and oriented toward the welfare of the group.
After the other brothers have gone to find water and do not return, Yudhishthira sends Bhima to bring them back and fetch water. At the lake, the Yaksha issues a directive—bring the others and bring water—after which Bhima sets off toward the indicated place.
