Vaishampayana said: Having heard the words of Janardana, the righteous king Yudhishthira, in the presence of Keshava, addressed his brothers: "You have heard what happened in the assembly of the Kurus, and you have fully understood the words of Keshava. Therefore, best of men, arrange the division of my army. These seven akshauhinis have gathered for victory. Learn the names of their seven renowned commanders: Drupada, Virata, Dhrishtadyumna and Shikhandin, Satyaki, Chekitana, and mighty Bhimasena. All these heroes are leaders of the army, ready to lay down their lives."

In this chapter the peace negotiations finally give way to the organizing of war. The Pandavas choose their military leader not out of pride but through counsel, experience, and trust in Krishna; their advance toward Kurukshetra is then described as orderly, sacrificially prepared, and surrounded by allies. Dharma shows itself here not as a refusal to act but as the right ordering of an inevitable duty.
