प्रत्यपद्यन्त ते सर्वे स्वरथान्‌ पुरुषर्षभा: । ततो व्यूहं यथापूर्व प्रत्यव्यूहन्त ते पुन:,फिर वे सभी श्रेष्ठ पुरुष अपने-अपने रथपर आरूढ़ हुए; इसके बाद उन्होंने पुनः शत्रुओंके मुकाबलेमें पहलेकी भाँति ही अपनी सेनाकी व्यूह-रचना की

pratyapadyanta te sarve sva-rathān puruṣarṣabhāḥ | tato vyūhaṃ yathāpūrvaṃ pratyavyūhanta te punaḥ ||

అప్పుడు ఆ పురుషర్షభులు అందరూ తమ తమ రథాలపై మళ్లీ ఎక్కిరి. అనంతరం శత్రువుకు ఎదురుగా, మునుపటివలెనే వారు మరల వ్యూహాన్ని అమర్చిరి.

Educational Q&A

Even in violent conflict, the narrative highlights kṣatriya discipline and organized conduct: warriors return to their stations and restore formation, implying that duty and order are maintained rather than giving way to chaos.

After a disruption in the fighting, the warriors mount their own chariots again and re-establish their military formation, arranging themselves to face the opposing side as they had earlier.
