Kaurava–Pāṇḍava Readiness
युधिछिर उवाच पृच्छामि व्वां द्विजश्रेष्ठ शृणु यन्मेडभिकाड्क्षितम् । कथं जयेय॑ संग्रामे भवन्तमपराजितम्
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | pṛcchāmi tvāṃ dvijaśreṣṭha śṛṇu yan me ’bhikāṅkṣitam | kathaṃ jayeyam saṅgrāme bhavantam aparājitam ||
坚战（尤提希提罗）说道：“我请问您，最尊贵的两生者啊，请听我心中所渴求知晓之事。既然您是无人能败之人，我又怎能在战场上胜过您？”
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even in a righteous war, Yudhiṣṭhira frames victory as a moral problem: he seeks guidance rather than relying on pride or force, showing that dharma requires humility, consultation, and ethical clarity before action.
On the battlefield context of Bhīṣma Parva, Yudhiṣṭhira addresses a revered ‘dvijaśreṣṭha’ and asks how he could possibly defeat someone described as ‘aparājita’ (undefeated), indicating a search for counsel about overcoming an invincible opponent.
