Transliteration

punar yuddhāya samare prayayur bhīmapārṣatau | tato yudhiṣṭhiraḥ prāha samāhūya svasainikān ||

Translation

సంజయుడు పలికెను—భీముడు మరియు పార్షతుడు (ధృష్టద్యుమ్నుడు) మళ్లీ యుద్ధార్థం రణభూమికి ముందుకు సాగిరి. అప్పుడు యుధిష్ఠిరుడు తన సైన్యాన్ని పిలిపించి పలికెను—ఇది కోపావేశం కాదు; ధర్మబద్ధంగా యుద్ధక్రమాన్ని పునఃవ్యవస్థీకరించుటయే.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Even amid violence, action is framed by responsibility and command: warriors advance to fight, but the righteous king first gathers and instructs his forces, emphasizing disciplined, duty-oriented conduct rather than uncontrolled aggression.

What is happening in the narrative?

Bhīma and Pārṣata (Dhṛṣṭadyumna) move forward again to re-engage in combat. Immediately after, Yudhiṣṭhira calls his own soldiers together and begins to address them, indicating a coordinated response in the ongoing battle.
