Shloka 43
यस्य बाहुबले तुल्यो न भूतो न भविष्यति । अतीव समर दृष्टवा हर्षो यस्योपजायते
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | yasya bāhubale tulyo na bhūto na bhaviṣyati | atīva samare dṛṣṭvā harṣo yasyopajāyate |
Wika ni Yudhiṣṭhira: “Yaong ang lakas ng bisig ay walang kapantay noon at wala ring magiging kapantay sa hinaharap—yaong sa pagtanaw pa lamang ng pagkakataon ng digmaan ay napupuno ng matinding galak—kung ang gayong katuwang na si Bṛhannalā ay nasa tabi ni Prinsipe Uttara, paano hindi magwawagi si Uttara?”

Educational Q&A
True strength is not merely physical power but steadfast courage and readiness to uphold one’s duty in battle; with a capable and righteous ally, fear gives way to confidence and rightful success becomes likely.
During the Virāṭa episode, Yudhiṣṭhira reassures others about the coming conflict by praising Bṛhannalā (Arjuna in disguise) as unmatched in martial prowess; therefore, he argues that Prince Uttara will surely win with such support.
