गच्छ गच्छ ध्रुवं पार्थ ध्रुवी हि विजयो मम । भीमसेनके ऐसा कहनेपर सात्यकिने उनसे कहा--“कुन्तीकुमार! तुम जाओ। निश्चय ही लौट जाओ। मेरी विजय अवश्य होगी
gaccha gaccha dhruvaṁ pārtha dhruvī hi vijayo mama |
Sañjaya said: “Go, go, O Pārtha. Return with certainty; for victory, indeed, is assuredly mine.” In the charged ethics of battle, the speaker’s words combine urgent counsel with unwavering confidence, aiming to steady an ally’s resolve amid the turmoil of war.
संजय उवाच
The verse foregrounds steadfastness and certainty in action: in a crisis, decisive instruction and firm conviction can stabilize morale. Ethically, it reflects the wartime need to act without hesitation once one’s duty and objective are clear.
Sañjaya reports a brief, emphatic exhortation addressed to Pārtha (Arjuna): he is urged to go/return with confidence, while the speaker asserts that victory is assured for him.
