Jarāsandha–Vāsudeva Saṃvāda: Kṣātra-Dharma, Pride, and the Ethics of Coercion
Sabhā Parva, Adhyāya 20
जगन्नाथ! पुरुषोत्तम! आप सावधान होकर वही उपाय कीजिये
ayaṃ ca balināṃ śreṣṭhaḥ śrīmān api vṛkodaraḥ |
yuvābhyāṃ sahito vīraḥ kiṃ na kuryān mahāyaśāḥ ||
尤提希提罗说道：“噢，世主（Jagannātha）！噢，至上之人（Puruṣottama）！愿你谨慎筹谋，使此事迅速圆满。正如病苦之人若失却法（dharma）、欲（kāma）与利（artha），便极度悲苦，乃至弃绝生命；我亦如此，离了你便不能活。没有奎师那，阿周那不能自处；没有阿周那，奎师那亦不能自处。世间无人能胜那两位同名为‘黑天’的勇士——此乃我之确信。再者，这位弗利科达罗（毗摩）亦然——强者之冠，光辉而显赫——与汝二人并肩，还有何事不可成？”

Educational Q&A
Strength becomes ethically effective when aligned with righteous purpose and wise alliance: Yudhiṣṭhira frames Bhīma’s power as most decisive when joined to Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, implying that might should serve dharma through proper counsel and unity.
Yudhiṣṭhira is urging swift completion of a difficult undertaking by emphasizing the unbeatable combination of Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, and adding that Bhīma—foremost among the strong—when accompanying them, can accomplish anything.
