Wika ni Sañjaya: Sa kanang pakpak ay nakapuwesto ang pinunong Kekaya, panginoon ng isang akṣauhiṇī. Sa likuran naman ay inilagay ang limang anak ni Draupadī, at ang magiting na anak ni Subhadrā (Abhimanyu), bilang sandigan at suporta.

Educational Q&A
Even in warfare, dharma expresses itself as disciplined responsibility: leaders are placed where their strength best serves the whole, and supporting forces are positioned to protect and reinforce—showing that power should be organized under duty and collective purpose, not impulse.
Sañjaya reports the Pandava-side deployment: a Kekaya leader commanding an akṣauhiṇī takes the right wing, while the Draupadeyas and Abhimanyu are stationed in the rear as support and reserve, indicating a planned battle array.
