Samantapañcakād bāhyaṁ śibirāṇi sahasraśaḥ | kārayāmāsa vidhivat Kuntīputro Yudhiṣṭhiraḥ ||
毗舍摩波耶那说道:在三曼多般遮迦(Samantapañcaka)境外,昆蒂之子由提施提罗依礼依序,命人修建了成千上万座军营。

Even in war, righteous leadership expresses itself through order, restraint, and adherence to proper procedure (vidhivat). Preparation is not mere strategy; it is also ethical governance—organizing people and resources without chaos or needless harm.
As the armies gather near Kurukṣetra, Yudhiṣṭhira arranges for thousands of camps to be set up outside the Samantapañcaka region, establishing a structured encampment for the Pāṇḍava forces.
