भीष्मव्यूहदर्शनम् / Viewing Bhīṣma’s Battle Array and Arjuna’s Reassurance
त्यक्त्वाधर्म च लोभं॑ च मोहं चोद्यममास्थिता: । युद्धवध्वमनहंकारा यतो धर्मस्ततो जय:,“देवताओ! अधर्म, लोभ और मोह त्यागकर उद्यमका सहारा ले अहंकारशून्य होकर युद्ध करो। जहाँ धर्म है उसी पक्षकी विजय होती है"
tyaktvā adharmaṁ ca lobhaṁ ca mohaṁ ca udyamam āsthitāḥ | yuddhadhvam anahaṅkārā yato dharmas tato jayaḥ ||
“Wahai para dewa! Tinggalkanlah ketidakbenaran, ketamakan, dan kekeliruan; berpeganglah pada usaha yang teguh. Berperanglah tanpa ego; kerana di pihak dharma, di situlah kemenangan.”

Educational Q&A
Victory is aligned with dharma: one should abandon adharma, greed, and delusion, act with disciplined effort, and fight (or act) without ego; ethical grounding, not mere force, is presented as the true basis of success.
In the Bhīṣma Parva war-setting, Sañjaya reports an exhortation to the combatants: to enter battle with moral clarity and humility—renouncing corrupt motives and ego—affirming that the side rooted in dharma ultimately prevails.
