भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय 54: फल्गुन-प्रतिरोधः, सौबली-व्यूह-विध्वंसः, दुर्योधन-भीष्म-संवादः
जघनं पालयामास विराट: सह केकयै:
jaghanaṃ pālayāmāsa virāṭaḥ saha kekayaiḥ
Sinabi ni Sañjaya: Si Virāṭa, kasama ang mga Kekaya, ang humawak at nagbantay sa hulihan ng ayos—pinananatili ang kaayusan at pananggalang sa bahaging ang biglaang pagsalakay ay makapagdudulot ng pinakamalaking kaguluhan.

Educational Q&A
Even in war, duty includes disciplined protection of the vulnerable points of a formation; leadership is shown not only in attack but in safeguarding the rear, preventing disorder and unnecessary loss.
Sañjaya reports battlefield dispositions: Virāṭa, supported by the Kekayas, is assigned to secure the rear of the army formation, ensuring it is defended against flanking or surprise assaults.
