Droṇa-parva 112: Karṇa–Bhīma Engagement and Duryodhana’s Protective Order
स हि शक्तो रणे तात त्रींललोकानपि संगतान् । विजेतुं पुरुषव्याप्र: सत्यमेतद् ब्रवीमि ते
sa hi śakto raṇe tāta trīṁl lokān api saṅgatān | vijetuṁ puruṣavyāghraḥ satyam etad bravīmi te ||
قال يودهيشثيرا: «نعم يا أخي العزيز، إن ذلك النمر بين الرجال قادرٌ في ساحة القتال على قهر العوالم الثلاثة لو اجتمعت عليه. هذه هي الحقيقة التي أقولها لك».
युधिष्ठिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even amid war, Yudhiṣṭhira frames his judgment as satya (truth): praise should be grounded in honest assessment, and extraordinary power is acknowledged without abandoning the ethical commitment to truthful speech.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses a close relation (“tāta”) and emphatically declares that a particular hero—called “puruṣavyāghra,” the best of men—has such martial capacity that he could defeat even the combined three worlds.
