युधिष्ठिरस्य धनंजय-प्रति गर्हा
Yudhiṣṭhira’s Reproach to Dhanaṃjaya
उत्तिष्ठत प्रहरत प्रैताभिपततेति च
uttiṣṭhata praharata praitābhipatateti ca
Wika ni Sañjaya: “ ‘Tumindig! Sumalakay! Umusad—dagsain sila!’ Sa gayon ay paulit-ulit niyang inudyukan, itinutulak ang mga mandirigma sa pagkilos sa gitna ng kagyat na panawagan ng dharma at kaguluhan ng labanan.”

The line highlights the battlefield ethic of immediate resolve and disciplined action: when duty is taken up, hesitation gives way to coordinated effort under command, even amid the moral weight of war.
Sañjaya reports a moment of intense combat where warriors are being rallied with urgent imperatives—‘rise, strike, advance, charge’—capturing the press of battle and the push to engage the enemy decisively.
