Vaishampayana said: 'In the same way King Yudhishthira, son of Kunti and son of Dharma, O Bharata, roused the heroes led by Dhrishtadyumna. He appointed Dhrishtaketu, firm in valor, the leader of the Chedis, Kashis, and Karushas, as commander-in-chief and destroyer of foes. Virata, Drupada, Yuyudhana, Shikhandin, and the two great Panchala bowmen Yudhamanyu and Uttamaujas — these heroes in bright armor, wearing glowing earrings, blazed like sacrificial fires poured with clarified butter upon the altars, shining like brilliantly burning planets. Then this bull among men, the lord of the earth, having honored the army as was fitting, commanded these divisions to march.'

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.
