Udyoga Parva, Adhyāya 55 — Sañjaya’s Report on Pāṇḍava Readiness and Arjuna’s Dhvaja
संजय उवाच अतीव मुदितो राजन युद्धप्रेप्सुर्युधिष्ठिर: । भीमसेनार्जुनौी चोभौ यमावपि न बिभ्यत:,संजयने कहा--राजन! युधिष्छिर युद्धकी अभिलाषा लेकर मन-ही-मन अत्यन्त प्रसन्न हो रहे हैं। भीमसेन, अर्जुन तथा दोनों भाई नकुल-सहदेव भी भयभीत नहीं हैं
sañjaya uvāca: atīva mudito rājan yuddha-prepsur yudhiṣṭhiraḥ | bhīmasenārjunau cobhau yamāv api na bibhyataḥ ||
สัญชัยกล่าวว่า “ข้าแต่ราชา! ยุธิษฐิระผู้ใคร่ศึกยินดีอย่างยิ่งอยู่ในใจ ภีมเสนกับอรชุน—ทั้งสอง—และพี่น้องฝาแฝด (นกุล-สหเทวะ) ก็หาได้หวาดหวั่นไม่”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic resolve: when conflict becomes unavoidable to uphold justice, the righteous do not act from fear or anger but from steady determination and clarity of duty.
Sañjaya reports to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Yudhiṣṭhira is inwardly pleased and intent on war, and that Bhīma, Arjuna, and the twins Nakula and Sahadeva are likewise unafraid—signaling the Pāṇḍavas’ readiness for the coming confrontation.
