Kāmyaka Context
//////८6 ॥/2 &// यस्य नित्यमृता वाच: स्वैरेष्वपि महात्मन: । त्रैलोक्यमपि तस्य स्याद् योद्धा यस्य धनंजय:,जिन महात्माके मुखसे हँसीमें भी सदा सत्य ही बातें निकलती हैं और जिनकी ओरसे लड़नेवाले धनंजय-जैसे योद्धा हैं, उन धर्मराज युधिष्ठिरके लिये इस कौरव-राज्यको जीतनेकी तो बात ही क्या है, वे तीनों लोकोंपर अधिकार प्राप्त कर सकते हैं
yasya nityamṛtā vācaḥ svair eṣv api mahātmanaḥ | trailokyam api tasya syād yoddhā yasya dhanañjayaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana said: Even in casual moments, the words of that great-souled man are unfailingly true. With Dhanañjaya (Arjuna) as his champion in battle, such a one could win not merely this Kaurava kingdom—he could command even the three worlds. The verse underscores that steadfast truthfulness, joined with righteous strength and loyal support, makes rightful sovereignty inevitable.
