Shloka 7
इन्द्रस्य पाण्डवैः समागमः
Indra’s Meeting with the Pāṇḍavas
ततस्ते भ्रातरं दृष्टवा परिष्वज्य महारथा: । तत्रोपविविशु: पार्था: प्राप्ता गतिमनुत्तमाम्,तब वे उत्तम आश्रयको प्राप्त हुए महारथी पाण्डव भाई भीमसेनको हृदयसे लगाकर उनके पास ही बैठ गये
tataste bhrātaraṁ dṛṣṭvā pariṣvajya mahārathāḥ | tatropaviviśuḥ pārthāḥ prāptā gatim anuttamām ||
随后，他们一见兄长，诸位大车战士便热切相拥。于是，诸帕尔塔就在他身旁坐下，仿佛已得至上庇护与安稳之境——这既是手足同心的明证，也是在艰难中寻得坚实依靠后的宽慰。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic kinship: in adversity, righteous strength is sustained through mutual support, affectionate reconciliation, and taking refuge in trustworthy companions rather than in pride or isolation.
The Pāṇḍavas see their brother, embrace him with relief and affection, and then sit down near him—suggesting they have found a secure and excellent resting-place or support after strain and movement in the forest narrative.
