Chapter 47: Krauñca-vyūha Deployment and Conch-Signals
Kaurava–Pāṇḍava Readiness
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 ||
Wika ni Sañjaya: Pagkatapos, ang lahat ng mga bayani—matitibay na parang toro—ay muling sumakay sa kani-kanilang mga karwahe. Pagkaraan, muli nilang inayos ang hanay ng labanan laban sa kaaway, gaya ng dati—ibinabalik ang mahigpit na kaayusan sa gitna ng siksik na digmaan.
संजय उवाच
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.
