Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 114 — Karṇa–Bhīmasena Missile Exchange, Disarmament, and Arjuna’s Intervention
गच्छ गच्छ ध्रुवं पार्थ ध्रुवी हि विजयो मम । भीमसेनके ऐसा कहनेपर सात्यकिने उनसे कहा--“कुन्तीकुमार! तुम जाओ। निश्चय ही लौट जाओ। मेरी विजय अवश्य होगी
gaccha gaccha dhruvaṁ pārtha dhruvī hi vijayo mama |
Sañjaya said: “Go, go, O Pārtha. Return with certainty; for victory, indeed, is assuredly mine.”
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse foregrounds steadfastness and certainty in action: in a crisis, decisive instruction and firm conviction can stabilize morale. Ethically, it reflects the wartime need to act without hesitation once one’s duty and objective are clear.
Sañjaya reports a brief, emphatic exhortation addressed to Pārtha (Arjuna): he is urged to go/return with confidence, while the speaker asserts that victory is assured for him.
