भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ६२: वासुदेवमहात्म्यप्रशंसा (देव–ब्रह्मसंवादः)
पार्षतश्न रथश्रेष्ठो धर्मपुत्रश्न पाण्डव: । द्रोणस्य पश्यत: सैन्यं गाज़ेयस्य च पश्यत:
pārṣataś ca rathaśreṣṭho dharmaputraś ca pāṇḍavaḥ | droṇasya paśyataḥ sainyaṃ gāṅgeyasya ca paśyataḥ ||
三阇耶说道：随后，战车勇士之最的德罗什塔丢摩那与被称为“法之子”的般度子坚战，在全军注目之下向前推进——就在德罗那与恒河之子毗湿摩的目光之中。

Even in righteous warfare, action unfolds under moral scrutiny: leaders must act with resolve while remaining conscious that revered elders and teachers witness—and are implicated in—the conflict. The verse highlights the burden of dharma when duty collides with personal reverence.
Sañjaya reports that Dṛṣṭadyumna and Yudhiṣṭhira move forward as the army looks on, in the direct presence of Droṇa and Bhīṣma. It frames a battlefield moment where the Pāṇḍava leadership advances under the gaze of the Kaurava-side elders.
