भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ११०: पार्थभीमयोः प्रहारः तथा भीष्माभिमुखं संग्रामविस्तारः
Arjuna and Bhima’s pressure; escalation toward Bhishma
नियतं समवाप्स्यामि सर्वमेतद् यथेप्सितम् । यस्य मे पुरुषव्यात्र भवान् पक्षे व्यवस्थित:,पुरुषसिंह! जिसके पक्षमें आप खड़े हैं, वह मैं यह सब अभीष्ट मनोरथ अवश्य पूर्ण कर लूँगा
niyataṃ samavāpsyāmi sarvam etad yathepsitam | yasya me puruṣavyāghra bhavān pakṣe vyavasthitaḥ ||
ユディシュティラは言った。「人中の虎よ、私は望むとおりに、このすべてを必ずや成し遂げよう。なぜなら、あなたが堅く我が側に立っておられるからだ。かくも頼もしき守護者にして盟友を得た以上、我が正しき志が挫けることはない。」

The verse highlights the ethical power of righteous alliance: when a steadfast, noble supporter stands on one’s side, one’s dharmic aims gain certainty. It underscores confidence grounded not in arrogance but in dependable support and commitment.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses a revered ally (called “puruṣavyāghra,” ‘tiger among men’) and declares that he will surely accomplish his intended objectives because that powerful figure has taken his side and stands firmly in support.
