Kṛṣṇa’s Counsel to Dhṛtarāṣṭra in the Assembly
प्रवीरा: सर्वलोकस्य युवान: सिंहविक्रमा: । परिवार्य रथं शौरेरगच्छन्त परंतपा:,शत्रुओंको संताप देनेवाले, सिंहके समान पराक्रमी तथा सम्पूर्ण जगतके प्रख्यात तरुण वीर भगवान् श्रीकृष्णके रथको घेरकर चलते थे
vaiśampāyana uvāca | pravīrāḥ sarvalokasya yuvānaḥ siṃhavikramāḥ | parivārya rathaṃ śaurer agacchanta paraṃtapāḥ ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Ang mga bantog na kabataang bayani ng buong daigdig—matapang na gaya ng leon at mabagsik sa digmaan—ay naglakad na nakapaligid sa karwahe ni Śauri (Śrī Kṛṣṇa), handang pasuin ang kaaway sa lakas ng kanilang kapangyarihan.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined guardianship and coordinated strength: capable warriors place themselves around the leader’s chariot, showing that valor is most effective when guided by duty, order, and protective responsibility rather than mere aggression.
A group of famed youthful heroes proceeds while encircling Kṛṣṇa’s chariot, acting as an armed escort. The narration emphasizes their reputation, lion-like prowess, and readiness to strike down opponents as the events of the Udyoga Parva move toward open conflict.
