Adhyāya 195 — Arjuna’s Capability and Restraint Regarding Divyāstras
Udyoga Parva
तमन्वयात् सत्यधृतिः सौचित्तियद्धदुर्मद: । श्रेणिमान् वसुदानश्च पुत्र: काश्यस्य वा विभु:
tam anvayāt satyadhṛtiḥ saucittiyaddhurmadaḥ | śreṇimān vasudānaś ca putraḥ kāśyasya vā vibhuḥ ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: “Sumunod sa kanya si Satyadhṛti, ang Sauchittiya na nagngangalang Durdmada, at gayundin sina Śreṇimān at Vasudāna—mga makapangyarihang lalaki, mga anak ni Kāśya—na nakisama sa prusisyon.” Ipinahihiwatig ng talata kung paanong ang mga tanyag na angkan at disiplinadong pinuno ay umaayon sa mas malawak na kilusang pampolitika at pangmoral, kung saan nagtatagpo ang personal na tapang at minanang tungkulin sa paglilingkod sa layuning pinili nila.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the Mahābhārata’s emphasis on social and ethical order: prominent men identified by name and lineage ‘follow’ into a collective enterprise, suggesting that personal identity, inherited responsibility, and political choice are intertwined—one’s dharma is often expressed through the alliances one upholds.
A sequence of notable figures is being enumerated as they join or follow in a larger assembly/progression during the Udyoga Parva’s war-preparatory context, marking the gathering of supporters and the consolidation of forces through recognized lineages.
