अध्याय ४ — दुर्योधनस्य असंधि-निश्चयः
Duryodhana’s Refusal of Reconciliation
सर्वैरथ च जीवद्धिरबीभत्सुरपराजित: । कृष्णनेत्रो महाबाहुर्देवेरपि दुरासद:,“जब सब लोग जीवित थे, तब भी अर्जुन किसीके द्वारा पराजित नहीं हुए। श्रीकृष्ण- जैसे नेताके रहते हुए महाबाहु अर्जुन देवताओं के लिये भी दुर्जय हैं
sarvair atha ca jīvadbhir abībhatsur aparājitaḥ | kṛṣṇanetro mahābāhur devair api durāsadaḥ ||
Sañjaya said: Even while all those warriors were still alive, Abhībhatsu (Arjuna) was never defeated by anyone. With Kṛṣṇa as his guide and leader, the mighty-armed Arjuna is unassailable—even for the gods.
