Duryodhana’s Armor and the Tactical Reassessment
व्युष्टायां तु वरारोहे रजन्यां पापकर्मकृत् । न हि मोक्ष्यति पार्थात् स प्रविष्टो5प्पमरावतीम्,वरारोहे! बालककी हत्या करानेवाला वह पापकर्मा पापी सिंधुराज जयद्रथ रात बीतनेपर प्रातःकाल होते ही अपने सुहृदों और बन्धु-बान्धवोंसहित इस अपराधका फल पायेगा। वह अमरावतीपुरीमें जाकर छिप जाय तो भी अर्जुनके हाथसे उसका छुटकारा नहीं होगा
vyuṣṭāyāṃ tu varārohe rajanyāṃ pāpakarmakṛt | na hi mokṣyati pārthāt sa praviṣṭo 'pi amarāvatīm, varārohe ||
Vāyu said: “O noble lady, when this night has passed and morning breaks, that evildoer will not escape Pārtha (Arjuna). Even if he were to enter and hide in Amarāvatī itself, he would still find no release from Arjuna’s hand. The slayer of a child, Jayadratha, the king of Sindhu, will soon—together with his friends and kinsmen—reap the fruit of this crime.”

Educational Q&A
Grave wrongdoing (especially the killing of the innocent) brings inevitable consequences; neither power, allies, nor even a seemingly divine refuge can shield a wrongdoer from just retribution when dharma demands accountability.
Vāyu declares to a noble lady that once dawn arrives, Jayadratha—condemned for the crime associated with a child’s death—will not escape Arjuna, even if he hides in Indra’s city Amarāvatī; the statement reinforces the certainty of Arjuna’s impending vengeance and the moral weight of the अपराध (crime).
