The lion's roar of the mighty warriors, mingled with the sound of conches and drums, made the earth, the sky, and the oceans resound. Then King Yudhishthira settled the army on level, pleasant ground rich in grass and fuel. Avoiding cremation grounds, shrines of the gods, the hermitages of great sages, holy places, and other sacred sites, Yudhishthira, son of Kunti, lord of the earth, had a camp built in a pleasant, salt-free, auspicious, and holy place. Then, rising again, happy, with his animals rested, he set out further, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of protectors of the earth.

In this chapter, the peace negotiations finally give way to preparation for war. The Pandavas choose their military commander not out of pride but through counsel, experience, and trust in Krishna; their movement to Kurukshetra is then described as orderly, sacrificially prepared, and surrounded by allies. Dharma here manifests not as a refusal to act, but as the right ordering of an unavoidable duty.
