Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 96: Sātyaki’s Line-Penetration, Encirclement, and Advance toward Arjuna
न कृष्णो न च कौन्तेयो न चान्य: शस्त्रभृद् रणे | शरानर्पयितुं कश्चित् कवचे तव शक्ष्यति,इस कवचके रहते हुए श्रीकृष्ण, अर्जुन तथा दूसरे कोई शणस्त्रधारी योद्धा भी तुम्हें बाणोंद्वारा चोट पहुँचानेमें समर्थ न हो सकेंगे
na kṛṣṇo na ca kaunteyo na cānyaḥ śastrabhṛd raṇe | śarān arpayituṃ kaścit kavace tava śakṣyati ||
Duryodhana said: “Neither Kṛṣṇa nor the son of Kuntī (Arjuna), nor any other weapon-bearing warrior in battle, will be able to lodge arrows into you—so long as you wear this armor.” In the moral atmosphere of the war, the line reflects Duryodhana’s reliance on material protections and tactical assurances, seeking invulnerability through equipment rather than through righteousness or restraint.
