अध्याय १: महाप्रस्थानारम्भः
The Commencement of the Great Departure
अर्जुनस्य मतं ज्ञात्वा भीमसेनो यमौ तथा । अन्वपद्यन्त तद् वाक््यं यदुक्ते सव्यसाचिना
arjunasya mataṁ jñātvā bhīmaseno yamau tathā | anvapadyanta tad vākyaṁ yad ukte savyasācinā ||
Nang maunawaan ang pasya ni Arjuna, si Bhīmasena at ang kambal na magkapatid ay sumang-ayon din sa salitang binitiwan ni “Savyasācin” (si Arjuna na bihasa sa dalawang kamay), at sumunod sa iisang landas.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights disciplined unity: once a righteous course is understood and agreed upon, the brothers set aside individual insistence and move forward together, embodying concord and shared resolve.
After Arjuna expresses a particular intention or proposal, Bhīma and the twins (Nakula and Sahadeva) understand his mind and follow the same plan, accepting Arjuna’s spoken direction.
