Shloka 27
सहायस्ते यदि यम: कुबेरो रुद्र एव वा । यथाप्रतिज्ञं दुर्बुद्धे प्रकरिष्यन्ति पाण्डवा: । दुःशासनस्य रुधिरं पाता चास्मि यथेप्सितम्,'दुर्बद्धे! तेरी सहायताके लिये यमराज, कुबेर अथवा भगवान् रुद्र ही क्यों न आ जायाँ, पाण्डव अपनी प्रतिज्ञाके अनुसार सब कार्य अवश्य करेंगे। मैं अपनी इच्छाके अनुसार दुःशासनका रक्त अवश्य पीऊँगा
sahāyas te yadi yamaḥ kuberaḥ rudra eva vā | yathāpratijñaṃ durbuddhe prakariṣyanti pāṇḍavāḥ | duḥśāsanasya rudhiraṃ pātā cāsmi yathepsitam ||
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে— হে দুর্বুদ্ধি! তোৰ সহায়লৈ যম, কুবেৰ বা স্বয়ং ৰুদ্ৰ আহিলেও পাণ্ডৱসকলে নিজৰ প্ৰতিজ্ঞা অনুসাৰেই সকলো কাৰ্য সম্পন্ন কৰিব। আৰু মই মোৰ ইচ্ছামতে দুঃশাসনৰ ৰক্ত নিশ্চয় পান কৰিম।

The verse highlights the binding power of a vow (pratijñā) and the inevitability of moral consequence: even imagined divine assistance cannot nullify the results of wrongdoing, and the narrative frames impending violence as the execution of pledged retribution.
Sañjaya declares that the Pāṇḍavas will fulfill their sworn resolve regardless of any powerful ally on the opposing side, and he voices the grim vow to drink Duḥśāsana’s blood—an oath associated with vengeance for past humiliation and injustice.
