Shloka 47
अध्याय १ — न्यग्रोधवनोपवेशनम् तथा द्रौणिनिश्चयः
Night at the Banyan and Drauṇi’s Resolve
बलवन्त: कृतोत्साहा: प्राप्तलक्ष्या: प्रहारिण: । 'पाण्डव इस समय विजयसे उल्लसित हो रहे हैं। वे बलवान, उत्साही और प्रहार करनेमें कुशल हैं। उन्हें अपना लक्ष्य प्राप्त हो गया है। ऐसी अवस्थामें आज मैं अपनी शक्तिसे उनका वध नहीं कर सकता ।।
balavantaḥ kṛtotsāhāḥ prāptalakṣyāḥ prahāriṇaḥ |
三阇耶说道：“他们强盛无比，斗志尽起，目标已达，出手善击。此刻般度族正因胜利而欢腾；在这般情势下，今日我凭一己之力不能杀他们。”

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores sober discernment in war: when opponents are strong, motivated, and successful, mere personal confidence is insufficient. It highlights the ethical and practical necessity of recognizing limits and the real conditions on the ground rather than acting from pride or rashness.
Sañjaya describes the Pāṇḍavas as powerful and elated after achieving their objective, emphasizing their readiness and effectiveness in combat. He conveys that, given their present advantage and vigor, they cannot be easily slain by individual effort.
