Shloka 28
विनिवृत्तान् कुरून् दृष्टवा पाण्डवा5पि स्वसैनिकान् । दूतैः शीघ्राश्वसंयुक्तै:ः समन््तात् पर्यवारयन्
vinivṛttān kurūn dṛṣṭvā pāṇḍavā api svasainikān | dūtaiḥ śīghrāśvasaṃyuktaiḥ samantāt paryavārayan ||
Sañjaya nói: Thấy quân Kuru rút khỏi cuộc chiến, các Pāṇḍava cũng sai sứ giả cưỡi ngựa nhanh tỏa đi bốn phương, truyền lệnh cho quân mình ngừng giao tranh.

Educational Q&A
Even amid war, conduct is governed by dharma: when the opponent withdraws, continuing violence becomes needless and blameworthy; disciplined leadership restrains troops and prevents gratuitous harm.
Sañjaya reports that the Kuru forces turn back from combat; observing this, the Pāṇḍavas send swift mounted messengers in all directions to signal their own army to stop fighting as well.
