Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 47 — Arjuna’s Deterrent Declaration
Sañjaya’s Report
सेनाग्रगं दंशितं भीमसेनं स्वालक्षणं वीरहणं परेषाम् | घ्नन्तं चमूमन्तकसंनिकाशं तदा स्मर्ता वचनस्थातिमानी
saṅjaya uvāca | senāgra-gaṁ daṁśitaṁ bhīmasenaṁ svalakṣaṇaṁ vīrahaṇaṁ pareṣām | ghnantaṁ camūm antaka-sannikāśaṁ tadā smartā vacanasthātimānī ||
サンジャヤは言った。「ビーマセーナが鎧をまとい、軍の最前へと疾駆する時――自らのしるしは明らかでありながら、敵には見分けがたいまま――敵方の勇士を斬り伏せ、さらにアンタカ（死）そのもののごとく対陣の軍勢を滅ぼし始めるなら、その時、驕り高ぶるドゥルヨーダナは、わたしのこの言葉を思い出すであろう。」

Educational Q&A
Arrogance that ignores wise counsel leads to inevitable regret: Duryodhana’s overconfidence will collapse when confronted with the real, destructive capability of Bhīma in battle, and he will then recall the warning he dismissed.
Sañjaya foretells a battlefield scene: Bhīma, armored and charging at the front, will slaughter enemy champions and devastate the opposing army like Death itself; at that moment, Duryodhana—described as extremely proud—will remember Sañjaya’s earlier words.
