Duryodhana-vadha-pratikriyā: Harṣa, Nindā, and Kṛṣṇa’s Nīti-vyākhyā (Śalya-parva 60)
दिष्टया गतस्त्वमानृण्यं मातु:ः कोपस्य चोभयो: । दिष्ट्या जयति दुर्धर्ष दिष्टया शत्रुर्निपातित:
diṣṭyā gatastvam ānṛṇyaṁ mātuḥ kopasya cobhayoḥ | diṣṭyā jayati durdharṣa diṣṭyā śatrur nipātitaḥ ||
由提施提罗说道：“幸而你已脱离对母亲以及对她怒火的双重亏欠。也正因这同一的天命，噢，不可战胜的英雄，你得以取胜；亦因这福分，你的仇敌终于被击倒。”

Educational Q&A
The verse frames victory not merely as personal prowess but as a providential outcome, while also emphasizing moral accounting: one should become ānṛṇya—free from obligations—especially toward one’s mother, whose blessing (and even whose anger) creates a binding ethical debt.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses a formidable warrior, congratulating him on success in battle and on having discharged a twofold burden connected with his mother—her claim upon him and her wrath—while attributing both victory and the enemy’s fall to diṣṭi (fortune/providence).
