देवै्हि सम्भूतो दिव्यो रथो गाण्डीवधन्चन: । न स जेयो मनुष्येण मा सम कृढद्ध्वं मनो युधि
dhṛṣṭadyumna uvāca—idaṃ māṃ vaco gatasādhvasam | devaiḥ sambhūto divyo ratho gāṇḍīvadhanvanaḥ | na sa jeyo manuṣyeṇa mā sma kṛdhvaṃ mano yudhi ||
دھریشٹدیومن نے کہا—بےخوف ہو کر میری بات مان لو۔ گاندیو دھاری ارجن کا دیوی رتھ دیوتاؤں کی حفاظت میں ہے؛ کوئی انسان اسے فتح نہیں کر سکتا، اس لیے اس کے خلاف جنگ کا خیال بھی دل میں نہ لاؤ۔
धृष्टद्युम्न उवाचेदं मां वचो गतसाध्वसम् |
Educational Q&A
Dhṛṣṭadyumna urges strategic and ethical prudence: when a warrior is divinely supported and effectively unconquerable by ordinary means, reckless aggression is folly; one should restrain the impulse toward war and weigh consequences.
In the Udyoga Parva’s pre-war deliberations, Dhṛṣṭadyumna warns others about Arjuna’s exceptional, god-supported martial power—especially his divine chariot and the Gāṇḍīva—counseling them not to fix their minds on fighting him as if he were an ordinary opponent.
