Commencement of the Śalya–Yudhiṣṭhira Duel
ततो युधिछिरो राजा भीमसेनो5थ सात्यकि: । सहदेवश्न माद्रेयो मद्रराजमुपाद्रवन्,तदनन्तर राजा युधिष्ठिर, भीमसेन, सात्यकि और माद्रीकुमार सहदेवने एक साथ मद्रराज शल्यपर आक्रमण किया
tato yudhiṣṭhiro rājā bhīmaseno ’tha sātyakiḥ | sahadevaś ca mādreyo madrarājam upādravan ||
三阇耶说：随后，国王坚战、怖军、萨底耶迦与摩德梨之子萨诃提婆一齐冲上前去，攻向摩陀罗王沙利耶。这一协同进击显出般度诸子之决意：以团结与严整之举对抗强敌之主，而非各自逞勇。

Educational Q&A
Even amid violent conflict, righteous leadership emphasizes coordinated effort, discipline, and responsibility—acting together to meet a grave threat rather than pursuing reckless individual glory.
Sañjaya reports that Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhīma, Sātyaki, and Sahadeva jointly charge and attack Śalya, the king of Madra, indicating a concentrated attempt to check or bring down a key opposing commander.
