Shloka 83
न शस्त्रेण न वज्ेण नाग्निना न च वायुना | नचार्द्रेण न शुष्केण त्रसेन स्थावरेण च,शस्त्र, वज्र, अग्नि, वायु, गीले-सूखे पदार्थ और स्थावर एवं जंगम प्राणीके द्वारा भी कोई मेरी कृपासे किसी प्रकार तुम्हें चोट नहीं पहुँचा सकता। तुम समरभूमिमें पहुँचनेपर मुझसे भी अधिक बलवान् हो जाओगे
na śastreṇa na vajreṇa nāgninā na ca vāyunā | na cārdreṇa na śuṣkeṇa traseṇa sthāvareṇa ca ||
Vyāsa said: “Neither by weapon nor by thunderbolt, neither by fire nor by wind; neither by what is wet nor by what is dry; neither by the moving nor by the unmoving—by none of these can anyone, by any means, injure you while my grace stands over you. When you reach the battlefield, you will become even stronger than I.”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches the power of protective grace: when a higher moral-spiritual protection is affirmed, fear of external forces—weapon, element, or creature—falls away, strengthening resolve to act rightly in a perilous duty.
Vyāsa reassures the addressed person that no form of harm—whether from weapons, natural elements, or living beings—can touch them under his grace, and that upon entering the battlefield their strength will increase greatly.
