Adhyāya 108 — Nimitta-darśana and Drona’s counsel amid Arjuna’s advance (निमित्तदर्शनं द्रोणोपदेशश्च)
स ययौ रथवंशेन यत्र राजा युधिष्ठिर: । राजन्! आपके पुत्रकी यह बात सुनकर प्रतापी राजा शल्य रथसमूहके साथ उसी स्थानपर गये, जहाँ राजा युधिष्ठिर विद्यमान थे
sa yayau rathavaṁśena yatra rājā yudhiṣṭhiraḥ |
Sañjaya thưa: Nghe lời nhắn thay mặt hoàng tử, vua Śalya dũng mãnh liền xuất phát cùng một đoàn chiến xa, tiến đến nơi vua Yudhiṣṭhira đang đóng quân.
संजय उवाच
Even amid war, actions are shaped by duty and command: leaders move decisively in response to royal intent, illustrating how responsibility and obedience operate within a dharma-strained battlefield context.
Sañjaya reports that King Śalya, after hearing the statement/message connected with the king’s son, proceeds with a formation of chariots to the location where King Yudhiṣṭhira is present.
