नान्यमस्यानुपश्यामि प्रतियोद्धारमाहवे
nānyam asyānupaśyāmi pratiyoddhāram āhave
സഞ്ജയൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ഈ യുദ്ധഭൂമിയിൽ അവനോട് യഥാർത്ഥത്തിൽ ഏറ്റുമുട്ടാൻ കഴിയുന്ന മറ്റൊരു പ്രതിയോധനെ ഞാൻ കാണുന്നില്ല.

The line underscores the Mahābhārata’s recurring reflection on unequal power in war: when a warrior’s prowess becomes overwhelming, the moral weight of resistance shifts from mere strength to resolve, strategy, and adherence to kṣatriya-dharma despite daunting odds.
