Shloka 101
ते तं दृष्टवा महात्मानं कृत्वा चापि प्रदक्षिणम् | गाज़ेयं भरतश्रेष्ठ दक्षिणेन च भास्करम्
te taṁ dṛṣṭvā mahātmānaṁ kṛtvā cāpi pradakṣiṇam | gāṅgeyaṁ bharataśreṣṭha dakṣiṇena ca bhāskaram ||
三阇耶说道：见到那位大心之人，他们恭敬绕行作右旋礼，使恒伽之子（毗湿摩）——婆罗多族之最胜者——以及太阳都在自己右侧，以示尊崇与吉祥之仪。

Even in the midst of warfare, dharmic culture emphasizes honoring elders and the worthy through auspicious gestures like pradakṣiṇā—symbolically placing the revered person and sacred powers (like the Sun) on one’s right, affirming respect, order, and restraint.
After seeing the great-souled figure, the group performs a respectful circumambulation, keeping Bhīṣma (Gāṅgeya) and the Sun to their right—indicating formal homage and seeking auspiciousness before or amid martial action.
