Shloka 4
त्वत्सहायो हाहं कृष्ण त्रींललोकान् वै समागतान् | प्रापयेयं परं लोक॑ किमु कर्ण महाहवे
tvatsahāyo hāhaṁ kṛṣṇa trīṁl lokān vai samāgatān | prāpayeyaṁ paraṁ lokaṁ kimu karṇa mahāhave ||
Sañjaya nói: “Hỡi Kṛṣṇa, nếu có Ngài làm đồng minh, ta có thể đẩy cả ba cõi—dẫu chúng tụ hội chống lại ta—lên con đường sang thế giới bên kia. Huống chi trong đại chiến này, việc khuất phục Karṇa há có gì khó?”

The verse highlights the perceived invincibility that comes from divine alliance: with Kṛṣṇa’s support, even cosmic opposition seems conquerable. Ethically, it underscores how reliance on a righteous guide (and the moral force associated with him) is viewed as decisive in dharmic conflict.
In the Karṇa Parva battle context, a speaker expresses supreme confidence that with Kṛṣṇa as helper, defeating Karṇa is trivial—using hyperbole that even the ‘three worlds’ could be sent to the next world if they opposed him.
