भीष्मशिबिरगमनम् — Duryodhana’s Visit to Bhīṣma’s Camp and the Command Appeal
मातु: समागमो यश्च तत् सर्व प्रत्यवेदयत् । तच्च सर्व यथावृत्तमनुसस्मार पाण्डव:
mātuḥ samāgamo yaś ca tat sarvaṃ pratyavedayat | tac ca sarvaṃ yathāvṛttam anusasmāra pāṇḍavaḥ ||
三阇耶说:他将与母亲相合之事及其相关的一切缘由尽数禀告。阿周那——般度之子——听后,便清晰而准确地忆起当初如何发生。此段强调:真实陈述与承认亲缘之纽带,纵在战事压力之中亦具重大的伦理分量。

Truthful narration of one’s origin and circumstances (yathāvṛttam) is presented as ethically significant: it enables rightful recognition of relationships and duties, especially in a war setting where identity and obligation matter.
A person (contextually Irāvān in the surrounding prose) recounts to Arjuna the details of his mother’s union with Arjuna; upon hearing the accurate account, Arjuna recollects the events exactly as they occurred.
