Lākṣāgṛha Planning
वैशम्पायन उवाच ते तमाज्ञाय तत्त्वेन पुनरागम्य पाण्डवा: | यथावृत्तं वने सर्व द्रोणायाचख्युरद्भुतम्,वैशम्पायनजी कहते हैं--राजन! वे पाण्डवलोग उस निषादका यथार्थ परिचय पाकर लौट आये और वनमें जो अद्भुत घटना घटी थी, वह सब उन्होंने द्रोणाचार्यसे कह सुनायी
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: te tam ājñāya tattvena punar āgamya pāṇḍavāḥ | yathāvṛttaṃ vane sarvaṃ droṇāyācakhyur adbhutam ||
毗舍波耶那说：般度五子既已确知那位尼沙陀的真实身份，便返回而来。随后他们将林中所发生的奇异之事，毫无隐瞒、毫不歪曲地，如实尽数禀告德罗那。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical fidelity to truth in narration: after verifying a person’s identity and the facts of an event, one should report the matter accurately (tattvena, yathāvṛttam), especially to a teacher or authority responsible for guidance.
The Pāṇḍavas have encountered a Niṣāda in the forest, learned his true identity, returned, and then told their teacher Droṇa the entire extraordinary incident exactly as it occurred.
