Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 47 — Arjuna’s Deterrent Declaration
Sañjaya’s Report
अयुद्धयमानो मनसापि यस्य जयं कृष्ण: पुरुषस्याभिनन्देत् । एवं सर्वान् स व्यतीयादमित्रान् सेन्द्रान् देवान् मानुषे नास्ति चिन्ता,“भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण युद्ध न करके मनसे भी जिस पुरुषकी विजयका अभिनन्दन करेंगे, वह अपने समस्त शत्रुओंको, भले ही वे इन्द्र आदि देवता ही क्यों न हों, पराजित कर देता है, फिर मनुष्य-शत्रुके लिये तो चिन्ता ही क्या है?
ayuddhayamāno manasāpi yasya jayaṃ kṛṣṇaḥ puruṣasyābhinandet | evaṃ sarvān sa vyatīyādamitrān sendrān devān mānuṣe nāsti cintā ||
Sañjaya said: Even without fighting—indeed, even by intention alone—if Śrī Kṛṣṇa approves and celebrates a man’s victory, that man can overcome all his enemies, even if they were gods led by Indra. Then what need is there to worry about merely human foes?

Educational Q&A
Victory is ultimately secured by divine sanction and righteous alignment: if Kṛṣṇa approves a person’s triumph, even formidable opposition becomes surmountable; therefore fear of merely human adversaries is misplaced.
Sañjaya emphasizes Kṛṣṇa’s decisive role in the coming conflict, asserting that Kṛṣṇa’s endorsement alone guarantees success—so much so that even gods led by Indra would be overcome, making human enemies a lesser concern.
