ततो युधिष्ठिरो दृष्ट्वा युद्धाय सुसमुद्यते । ते सेने सागरप्रख्ये मुहुः प्रचलिते नृप॥६-४१-६॥

Then Yudhiṣṭhira, seeing the two armies—ocean-like in their vastness—repeatedly surging as they readied themselves for battle, O King, responded as the moment required.

english translation

विमुच्य कवचं वीरो निक्षिप्य च वरायुधम् । अवरुह्य रथात्तूर्णं पद्भ्यामेव कृताञ्जलिः॥६-४१-७॥

The hero, having removed his armor and set aside his excellent weapon, quickly descended from the chariot and went on foot with hands joined in reverence.

पितामहमभिप्रेक्ष्य धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः । वाग्यतः प्रययौ येन प्राङ्मुखो रिपुवाहिनीम्॥६-४१-८॥

Having looked toward the Grandsire, Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira—restrained in speech—went forward, facing the opposing host.

तं प्रयान्तमभिप्रेक्ष्य कुन्तीपुत्रो धनंजयः । अवतीर्य रथात्तूर्णं भ्रातृभिः सहितोऽन्वयात्॥६-४१-९॥

Seeing him depart, Kuntī’s son Dhanañjaya quickly descended from his chariot and followed, accompanied by his brothers.

वासुदेवश्च भगवान्पृष्ठतोऽनुजगाम ह ।यथामुख्याश्च राजानस्तमन्वाजग्मुरुत्सुकाः॥६-४१-१०॥

And Vāsudeva, the revered one, followed behind; likewise the kings, according to their rank, eagerly went after him.
