Chapter 23: Śakuni Reports, Kaurava Advance, and Arjuna’s Penetration of the Host
प्रययुर्यत्र पाउचाल्यो धृष्टद्युम्नो महारथ: । उनकी यह बात सुनकर द्रौपदीके पाँचों पुत्र और वे मतवाले हाथी वहीं चले गये, जहाँ पांचालराजकुमार महारथी धृष्टद्युम्न थे
prayayur yatra pāñcālyo dhṛṣṭadyumno mahārathaḥ |
三阇耶说道：“听到那番话，德劳帕蒂的五子与那些狂躁如醉的战象立刻出发，前往般遮罗王子、伟大的车战勇士——德利什塔丢摩那——所在之处。”

Educational Q&A
In a martial-dharma setting, effective action arises from attentive listening and prompt execution. The verse highlights disciplined responsiveness and loyalty to leadership, showing how coordinated movement of warriors and war-elephants supports the larger ethical duty of one’s side in battle.
Sañjaya reports that, after hearing an instruction or message, Draupadī’s five sons proceed—together with intoxicated elephants—to the location of Dhṛṣṭadyumna, the Pāñcāla prince and great chariot-warrior, indicating a tactical regrouping or joining of forces under his command.
