Shloka 51
नश्यमानमहं युक्त मन्येयमिति मे मतिः । “रणभूमिमें तुम्हें पाकर सारा क्षत्रियसमाज एक दिनमें नष्ट हो सकता है, ऐसा कहना मैं युक्तिसंगत मानता हूँ। मेरी तो ऐसी ही धारणा है |। ५० ई ।।
naśyamānam ahaṁ yuktaṁ manyeyam iti me matiḥ | seyaṁ pārtha camūr ghorā dhārtarāṣṭrasya saṁyuge ||
Dijo Sañjaya: «Me parece un juicio razonable que, una vez que se te encuentra en el campo de batalla, todo el cuerpo de guerreros kṣatriya podría ser destruido en un solo día. Tal es mi convicción. Y ahora, oh Pārtha, contempla este terrible ejército de los hijos de Dhṛtarāṣṭra, dispuesto para el combate.»

The verse underscores the terrifying scale of war and the moral weight of martial power: a single encounter with a supreme warrior can bring mass destruction, reminding the listener that kṣatriya prowess carries grave ethical consequences in a dharma-bound conflict.
Sanjaya, reporting the battle, expresses his considered view that meeting Arjuna on the battlefield could lead to the annihilation of the kṣatriya host in a single day, and he points out the fearsome Kaurava army arrayed for combat.
