युधिष्ठिरस्य धनंजय-प्रति गर्हा
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Reproach to Dhanaṃjaya
अथापयातं राजानं मत्वान्वीयुस्तमच्युतम् । चेदिपाण्डवपाञ्चाला: सात्यकिश्न महारथ:
athāpayātaṁ rājānaṁ matvānvīyus tam acyutam | cedipāṇḍavapāñcālāḥ sātyakiś ca mahārathāḥ ||
சஞ்சயன் கூறினான்—அரசன் புறப்பட்டான் என எண்ணி அவர்கள் அந்த அச்யுதனை (ஸ்ரீகிருஷ்ணனை) பின்தொடர்ந்தனர்; சேதி, பாண்டவர், பாஞ்சாலர், மேலும் சாத்தியகி உள்ளிட்ட மகாரதர்கள்.

Educational Q&A
In the turmoil of battle, unity and right conduct are sustained by confidence in a steadfast, dharma-aligned leader; when the guide moves, allies align their actions to preserve order and purpose.
Sañjaya reports that, believing the king had departed, the allied forces—Cedis, Pāṇḍavas, Pāñcālas, and Sātyaki with other elite warriors—followed Kṛṣṇa (Acyuta), indicating a coordinated movement of the Pāṇḍava side under his lead.
