Shloka 38
भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ११०: पार्थभीमयोः प्रहारः तथा भीष्माभिमुखं संग्रामविस्तारः
Arjuna and Bhima’s pressure; escalation toward Bhishma
स हनिष्यति संग्रामे भीष्मं परपुरज्जयम् । अशक्यमपि कुर्याद्धि रणे पार्थ: समुद्यत:
sa haniṣyati saṅgrāme bhīṣmaṁ parapurañjayam | aśakyam api kuryād dhi raṇe pārthaḥ samudyataḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。「戦いにおいて彼は必ずや、敵の城塞を征した毘湿摩を討ち倒す。なぜなら、クンティの子パールタ（アルジュナ）が固い決意をもって立ち上がるとき、戦場では不可能と思われることさえ可能にしてしまうからだ。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the power of steadfast resolve (samudyata) in righteous action: when a capable warrior commits fully to his duty, even what appears impossible can be accomplished. It frames human effort and determination as decisive forces within the moral pressure of war.
Sañjaya, reporting events and assessments from the battlefield, expresses confidence that Arjuna (Pārtha) will be able to bring down Bhīṣma—renowned as a conqueror of enemy strongholds—because Arjuna’s readiness and prowess can overcome even seemingly insurmountable odds.
