Shloka 27
भीष्म-पर्व अध्याय १०० — त्रिगर्त-आक्रमण, भीष्म-केन्द्रित पुनर्संयोजन, तथा शक्त्यस्त्र-विनिमय
प्रययौं सदनं राजा गाड्रेयस्य यशस्विन: । अन्वीयमान: सततं सोदरै: परिवारित:,इस प्रकार कौरवोंसे पृूजित हो महाबली कौरवराज दुर्योधन यशस्वी भीष्मके शिविरमें गया। उसके भाई उसे घेरकर निरन्तर उसीके साथ-साथ रहे
prayayau sadanaṃ rājā gāḍreyasya yaśasvinaḥ | anvīyamānaḥ satataṃ sodaraiḥ parivāritaḥ ||
راجا دُریودھن نامور گانگَیَ بھِیشم کے مسکن (لشکرگاہ) کی طرف روانہ ہوا؛ اور اپنے سگے بھائیوں سے گھرا ہوا وہ برابر ان کے ساتھ ساتھ چلتا رہا۔

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical-political reality of wartime leadership: honour, solidarity, and collective backing strengthen a ruler’s position, yet they also bind him more tightly to the chosen course of action—here, the Kaurava commitment to Bhīṣma’s command and the coming battle.
Duryodhana, praised and honoured by the Kauravas, goes to Bhīṣma’s camp. His brothers surround and accompany him continuously, indicating unified support as they approach Bhīṣma for leadership and direction in the war.
