Kṛṣṇopadeśa and Duryodhana’s Challenge
Droṇa-parva, Adhyāya 77
तथा प्रभाते कर्तास्मि यथा कृष्ण सुयोधन: । नान्यं धनुर्थरं लोके मंस्यते मत्समं युधि,श्रीकृष्ण! मैं कल सबेरे ऐसा युद्ध करूँगा, जिससे दुर्योधन रणक्षेत्रके भीतर संसारके दूसरे किसी धनुर्धरको मेरे समान नहीं मानेगा
tathā prabhāte kartāsmi yathā kṛṣṇa suyodhanaḥ | nānyaṃ dhanurdharaṃ loke maṃsyate matsamaṃ yudhi ||
ອາຣຈຸນກ່າວວ່າ: «ໃນຍາມອາລຸນຮຸ່ງເຊົ້າ, ໂອ ກຣິດສະນະ! ຂ້າຈະຮົບໃຫ້ເປັນໄປດັ່ງນັ້ນ ຈົນສຸຍໂຍທະນະ (ດຸຣະໂຍທະນະ) ຈະບໍ່ເຫັນວ່າມີນັກທະນູຄົນໃດໃນໂລກ ທີ່ເທົ່າທຽມຂ້າໃນສົງຄາມອີກ»។

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma expressed as a disciplined vow: Arjuna commits to decisive action at the proper time (dawn) and to upholding honor through excellence in battle, while implicitly relying on Kṛṣṇa’s guidance rather than mere pride.
In the Drona Parva’s intense phase of the Kurukṣetra war, Arjuna addresses Kṛṣṇa and declares that at daybreak he will fight so powerfully that Duryodhana will no longer consider any other archer in the world equal to Arjuna.
