Shloka 122
नानन्यं त्वत्तों हि पश्यामि योध॑ यौधिष्ठछिरे बले । यः समासाद्य राधेयं स्वस्तिमानाव्रजेद् गृहम्
nānyam tvatto hi paśyāmi yoddhā yudhiṣṭhirasya bale | yaḥ samāsādya rādheyaṃ svastimān āvrajed gṛham ||
Wika ni Sañjaya: “Sa hukbo ni Yudhiṣṭhira, wala akong nakikitang mandirigmang iba pa kundi ikaw na, matapos humarap kay Rādheya (Karna), ay makababalik sa tahanan nang ligtas. Gayon kalakas ang kapangyarihan ni Karna na ang makasalubong siya sa digmaan ay halos walang naiiwang pag-asa sa buhay—kaya ang payo ko, tanging ang pinakamarunong at pinakamatatag ang dapat humarap sa kanya.”

The verse underscores sober discernment in war: one should not underestimate a formidable opponent, and leadership requires honest appraisal of capability and risk. It also reflects the kṣatriya ethic of matching challenge with appropriate strength rather than sacrificing soldiers through pride or miscalculation.
Sañjaya, reporting events and offering assessment, declares that within Yudhiṣṭhira’s forces he sees no one—except the addressed warrior—capable of facing Karna (Rādheya) and still returning safely. The statement highlights Karna’s battlefield dominance at this stage of the war.
