Shloka 44
यो5जयत् सड़तान् सर्वान् ससुरासुरमानवान् | तादृशेन सहायेन कस्मात् स न विजेष्यते
Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca |
Yo 'jayat śatān sarvān sasurāsuramānavān |
Tādṛśena sahāyena kasmāt sa na vijeṣyate ||
ಯುಧಿಷ್ಠಿರನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಯುದ್ಧದಲ್ಲಿ ಏಕತ್ರಗೊಂಡ ದೇವರು, ಅಸುರರು, ಮಾನವರು—ಎಲ್ಲರನ್ನೂ ಜಯಿಸಿದವನು; ಅಂಥ ಸಹಾಯಕನಿದ್ದಾಗ ಯುವರಾಜ ಉತ್ತರನು ಏಕೆ ಜಯಶಾಲಿಯಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ?

Competent guidance and proven strength inspire rightful confidence: when a capable ally stands with one who hesitates, fear gives way to courage, and success becomes likely—especially in a kṣatriya context where facing battle is a duty.
In the Virāṭa episode, Prince Uttara is about to face the Kauravas but is anxious; Yudhiṣṭhira reassures the court by praising Bṛhannalā (Arjuna in disguise) as an extraordinary warrior who has defeated even gods, demons, and men—therefore Uttara, with such support, should surely win.
