Pāṇḍava-senā-niryāṇa and Vyūha-vibhāga (पाण्डवसेनानिर्याण तथा व्यूहविभाग)
एवमुक््त्वा महाबाहु: केशवो राजसत्तम | पुनरेव महाप्राज्ञ युधिष्ठिरमुदैक्षत,नृपश्रेष्ठै ऐसा कहकर महाबाहु केशवने पुनः परम बुद्धिमान् राजा युधिष्ठिरकी ओर देखा
evam uktvā mahābāhuḥ keśavo rājasattama | punar eva mahāprājña yudhiṣṭhiram udaikṣata ||
ครั้นตรัสดังนั้นแล้ว เกศวะผู้มีพาหาอันเกรียงไกรก็หันกลับไปทอดพระเนตรยังพระยุธิษฐิระ ผู้เป็นราชาผู้ทรงปรีชาญาณยิ่งอีกครั้ง

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights purposeful, ethical leadership: counsel is not merely spoken but directed toward the one most committed to dharma. Kṛṣṇa’s renewed gaze suggests accountability and reflection—urging Yudhiṣṭhira to respond with discernment rather than impulse.
After delivering a statement or counsel, Kṛṣṇa (Keśava) turns again to look at King Yudhiṣṭhira. Sañjaya narrates this gesture, marking a pause in dialogue and emphasizing Yudhiṣṭhira as the focal recipient of Kṛṣṇa’s guidance.
