Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 47 — Arjuna’s Deterrent Declaration
Sañjaya’s Report
अयुद्धयमानो मनसापि यस्य जयं कृष्ण: पुरुषस्याभिनन्देत् । एवं सर्वान् स व्यतीयादमित्रान् सेन्द्रान् देवान् मानुषे नास्ति चिन्ता
ayuddhayamāno manasāpi yasya jayaṃ kṛṣṇaḥ puruṣasyābhinandet | evaṃ sarvān sa vyatīyādamitrān sendrān devān mānuṣe nāsti cintā ||
Sañjaya sprach: Selbst ohne zu kämpfen — ja, schon durch bloße innere Absicht — wenn Śrī Kṛṣṇa den Sieg eines Mannes billigt und ihn freudig anerkennt, vermag dieser alle Feinde zu überwinden, selbst wenn es Götter unter Indras Führung wären. Was gäbe es da noch zu sorgen vor bloß menschlichen Gegnern?

Educational Q&A
Victory is ultimately secured by divine sanction and righteous alignment: if Kṛṣṇa approves a person’s triumph, even formidable opposition becomes surmountable; therefore fear of merely human adversaries is misplaced.
Sañjaya emphasizes Kṛṣṇa’s decisive role in the coming conflict, asserting that Kṛṣṇa’s endorsement alone guarantees success—so much so that even gods led by Indra would be overcome, making human enemies a lesser concern.
