Duryodhana-vadha-pratikriyā: Harṣa, Nindā, and Kṛṣṇa’s Nīti-vyākhyā (Śalya-parva 60)
युधिछिर उवाच गतो वैरस्य निधनं हतो राजा सुयोधन: । कृष्णस्य मतमास्थाय विजितेयं वसुन्धरा,युधिष्ठिर बोले--भीमसेन! सौभाग्यकी बात है कि तुमने वैरका अन्त कर दिया, राजा दुर्योधन मारा गया और श्रीकृष्णके मतका आश्रय लेकर हमने यह सारी पृथ्वी जीत ली
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca
gato vairasya nidhanaṁ hato rājā suyodhanaḥ |
kṛṣṇasya matam āsthāya vijiteyaṁ vasundharā ||
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “The end of our enmity has come; King Suyodhana has been slain. Relying on Kṛṣṇa’s counsel, we have won this entire earth.”

Educational Q&A
Victory and political success are framed as arising from right counsel and alignment with Kṛṣṇa’s guidance; the verse also marks the moral closure of a long-standing feud by declaring the enmity’s ‘end’ with the fall of its chief agent.
After Duryodhana (Suyodhana) has been killed, Yudhiṣṭhira reflects that the central hostility has reached its conclusion and attributes the Pandavas’ conquest of the realm to their reliance on Kṛṣṇa’s counsel.
