The warriors were greatly roused and took up their weapons. Among them twenty thousand banners rose over the heroes, five thousand elephants, lines of chariots, and brave foot soldiers bearing bows, swords, and maces followed by the thousands behind and by the thousands ahead. There, where Yudhishthira himself stood in the ocean of the army, the guardians of the earth stationed themselves chiefly around him. There were thousands of elephants, tens of thousands of horses, thousands of chariots and foot soldiers, O Bharata; relying on them, he advanced against Suyodhana, the son of Dhritarashtra. Then other men, by the hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands, marched on behind, shouting loudly, and their divisions went forth by the thousands.

The final chapter of the Udyoga-parva shows the Pandavas' answer to the Kauravas' deployment: Yudhishthira acts calmly and precisely, distributing the army according to strength and task. His ordering does not look like blind fury; it is the deliberate organization of a dharmic war, where each hero receives a place according to his own nature and power. The image of the army as a full Ganga carries the book to the threshold of battle: negotiations, embassies, warnings, and vows are complete, and now the accumulated fate moves on like a river.
