Udyoga Parva, Adhyāya 55 — Sañjaya’s Report on Pāṇḍava Readiness and Arjuna’s Dhvaja
कल्माषाज्जस्तित्तिरिचित्रपृष्ठा भ्रात्रा दत्ता: प्रीयता फाल्गुनेन । भ्रातुर्वीरस्य स्वैस्तुरज़ैविशिष्टा मुदा युक्ता: सहदेवं वहन्ति
kalmaṣājjastittiricitra-pṛṣṭhā bhrātrā dattāḥ prīyatā phālgunena | bhrātur vīrasya svais turagair viśiṣṭā mudā yuktāḥ sahadevaṁ vahanti ||
三阇耶说道：“法尔古那（阿周那）喜爱幼弟，便将迦尔摩沙良马赠与萨诃提婆。它们通体斑驳多彩，背上点点如鹧鸪之纹。甚至胜过阿周那自己的坐骑；这些华美的骏马欣然受轭，承载萨诃提婆的战车。”

The verse highlights dharma expressed through familial responsibility and generosity: a warrior’s excellence is not only personal prowess but also supporting kin with the best resources, strengthening unity and readiness for righteous action.
Sañjaya describes Arjuna (Phālguna) giving Sahadeva superior, mottled horses—speckled like a partridge—which are joyfully harnessed and carry Sahadeva’s chariot as the Pandavas organize their forces.
