Udyoga Parva, Chapter 81: Krishna Sets Out as Envoy
शक्ष्यन्ति हि महाबाहो पाण्डवा: सूंजयैः सह । धार्रराष्ट्रबलं घोरें क्रुद्धं प्रतिसमासितुम्,महाबाहो! पाण्डवलोग सूंजय वीरोंके साथ क्रोधमें भरी हुई दुर्योधनकी भयंकर सेनाका अच्छी तरह सामना कर सकते हैं
śakṣyanti hi mahābāho pāṇḍavāḥ sañjayaiḥ saha | dhārtarāṣṭra-balaṃ ghoraṃ kruddhaṃ pratisamāsitum ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: “O mighty-armed one, the Pāṇḍavas, together with the Sañjayas, will indeed be able to withstand and firmly confront the dreadful, wrathful army of the Dhārtarāṣṭras.”
