Shloka 276
सैन्यसंनिवेशः (Sainyasaṃniveśaḥ) — Deployment, Omens, and Yuddha-Dharma Conventions
यथापरं यथायोगं न च स्यात् कस्यचित् पुनः । वे नियम इस प्रकार हैं--चालू युद्धके बंद होनेपर संध्याकालमें हम सब लोगोंमें परस्पर प्रेम बना रहे। उस समय पुनः किसीका किसीके साथ शत्रुतापूर्ण अयोग्य बर्ताव नहीं होना चाहिये
yathāparaṃ yathāyogaṃ na ca syāt kasyacit punaḥ |
毗舍婆耶那说道：“凡事当循其序、合其宜；一旦当日战斗止息，任何人都不可再以不当之举对他人怀敌意。至于黄昏，战事暂歇之时，愿众人之间仍存相互的善意与和睦。”

Educational Q&A
Even in war, dharma requires restraint: when fighting pauses (especially at twilight), hostility should not spill into personal conduct; mutual goodwill and proper behavior must be maintained.
Vaiśaṃpāyana reports the ethical regulations for conduct during the Kurukṣetra war, emphasizing that after the day’s combat ends, the warriors should not continue enmity through improper actions and should preserve cordial relations during the evening pause.
