Chapter 47: Krauñca-vyūha Deployment and Conch-Signals
Kaurava–Pāṇḍava Readiness
यतो धर्मस्तत: कृष्णो यतः कृष्णस्ततो जय: । युद्धयस्व गच्छ कौन्तेय पृच्छ मां कि ब्रवीमि ते,जहाँ धर्म है, वहाँ श्रीकृष्ण हैं और जहाँ श्रीकृष्ण हैं, वहीं विजय है। कुन्तीकुमार! जाओ, युद्ध करो। और भी पूछो, तुम्हें क्या बताऊँ?
yato dharmas tataḥ kṛṣṇo yataḥ kṛṣṇas tato jayaḥ | yudhyasva gaccha kaunteya pṛccha māṃ kiṃ bravīmi te ||
यतो धर्मस्ततः कृष्णो यतः कृष्णस्ततो जयः । युद्ध्यस्व गच्छ कौन्तेय पृच्छ मां किं ब्रवीमि ते ॥
द्रोण उवाच
Victory is aligned with dharma, and dharma is inseparable from Kṛṣṇa’s presence; therefore one should act according to righteous duty without hesitation, trusting that ethical alignment brings true success.
Droṇa addresses Kaunteya (Arjuna), urging him to proceed to battle. He frames the coming action as a dharmic necessity and reassures him that where Kṛṣṇa stands, victory follows, then invites further questions.
