yato dharmas tato kṛṣṇo yataḥ kṛṣṇas tato jayaḥ | upaplavya-nagare me maharṣi-dvaipāyanena uktaṃ āsīt—“yatra dharmas tatra śrīkṛṣṇaḥ, yatra śrīkṛṣṇas tatraiva vijayaḥ” ||
Translation
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “Wherever dharma stands, there stands Kṛṣṇa; and wherever Kṛṣṇa stands, there is victory. In the city of Upaplavya, the great sage Dvaipāyana once told me: ‘Where there is dharma, there is Śrī Kṛṣṇa; and where Śrī Kṛṣṇa is, there indeed is triumph.’”
