जिनके लिये शतानीक, सूर्यदत्त, श्रुतानीक, श्रुतध्वज, बलानीक, जयानीक, जयाश्व, रथवाहन, चन्द्रोदय तथा समरथ--ये विराटके श्रेष्ठ भाई और इन भाइयोंसहित मत्स्यराज विराट युद्ध करनेको तैयार हैं, नकुल, सहदेव, द्रौपदीके पुत्र तथा राक्षस घटोत्कच--ये वीर जिनके लिये युद्ध कर रहे हैं, उन पाण्डवोंकी कभी कोई क्षति नहीं हो सकती है || ४१-- ४३ ।। एते चान्ये च बहवो गुणा: पाण्डुसुतस्य वै । कामं॑ खलु जगत्सर्व॑ सदेवासुरमानुषम्
ete cānye ca bahavo guṇāḥ pāṇḍusutasya vai | kāmaṃ khalu jagat sarvaṃ sadevāsuramānuṣam ||
ในบุตรแห่งปาณฑุมีคุณความดีเหล่านี้และอีกมากนัก แท้จริง ต่อให้ทั้งโลกพร้อมด้วยเทพ อสูร และมนุษย์ ลุกขึ้นทำตามใจหมายจะต่อต้าน ก็ไม่อาจทำลายปาณฑพให้พินาศได้

Educational Q&A
Kṛpa emphasizes the Pāṇḍavas’ inviolability grounded in their accumulated virtues and rightful cause: when dharma, capability, and worthy allies converge, mere numerical or cosmic opposition is portrayed as insufficient to destroy them.
In the Drona Parva war-setting, Kṛpa speaks to highlight the many strengths of the Pāṇḍavas and their supporters, asserting that even a vast coalition of beings would not be able to bring about their destruction.
