Koṭikāśya’s Inquiry to the Radiant Woman near the Kadamba (कोटिकाश्यप्रश्नः)
प्रसाद्य पाण्डवान् सर्वानाज्ञापयत मोक्षणे । उनके ऐसा कहनेपर ज्येष्ठ पाण्डुपुत्र धर्मात्मा युधिष्ठिरने अन्य सब पाण्डवोंको राजी करके हम सब लोगोंको छुड़ानेके लिये आज्ञा दी
prasādya pāṇḍavān sarvān ājñāpayata mokṣaṇe |
难敌说道：“既已安抚了般度五子众人，便下令释放我们吧。”他如此言毕，般度长子、秉持正法的坚战说服其余诸般度子，并下令解救我们所有人。

Educational Q&A
Even when one holds advantage over an opponent, dharma favors self-control, reconciliation, and humane conduct; Yudhiṣṭhira’s readiness to release others after consultation reflects ethical kingship and compassion.
Duryodhana requests that, after appeasing the Pāṇḍavas, an order be given for release. Yudhiṣṭhira, the eldest Pāṇḍava, persuades his brothers and commands the freeing of those held.
