Śikhaṇḍin’s Transformation, Daśārṇa Verification, and Kubera’s Conditional Curse
Udyoga Parva 193
राजा युधिष्ठिरके इस प्रकार पूछनेपर निद्राविजयी अर्जुनने भगवान् श्रीकृष्णकी ओर देखकर यह बात कही-- सर्व एते महात्मान: कृतास्त्राश्चित्रयोधिन: । असंशयं महाराज हन्युरेव न संशय:
sarva ete mahātmānaḥ kṛtāstrāś citrayodhinaḥ | asaṃśayaṃ mahārāja hanyur eva na saṃśayaḥ ||
Arjuna, dueño del sueño, miró a Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa y respondió: «¡Oh gran rey! Sin duda, todos estos son guerreros de alma excelsa, plenamente adiestrados en el manejo de las armas y diestros en diversas artes de combate. Por ello, en ese número de días pueden destruir el ejército enemigo; no hay incertidumbre alguna.»

Educational Q&A
Competence and preparedness in a righteous cause remove hesitation: Arjuna emphasizes the proven skill and versatility of the warriors, urging decisive action rather than doubt when duty requires firm resolve.
After Yudhiṣṭhira’s inquiry, Arjuna responds while looking toward Kṛṣṇa, assuring the king that their noble, well-trained, tactically versatile fighters are certainly capable of destroying the opposing army within the proposed time.
