Shloka 11
उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय १३५: कुन्त्याः कृष्णं प्रति संदेशः
Kuntī’s Message to Kṛṣṇa
तादृशा हि सहाया वै पुरुषस्य बुभूषत: । इष्टं जिहीर्षत: किंचित् सचिवा: शत्रुकर्शन
tādṛśā hi sahāyā vai puruṣasya bubhūṣataḥ | iṣṭaṃ jihīrṣataḥ kiñcit sacivāḥ śatrukarśana śatrusūdana ||
“敌摧者啊！凡欲兴起昌盛之人，欲夺回——哪怕仅是一部分——那被仇敌夺去的心爱之物者，确需如此的辅佐与谋臣：具备前述德行的善友，能削弱并战胜敌人。”

Educational Q&A
A ruler or aspirant to success needs capable, loyal, and virtuous counsellors and allies; reclaiming one’s rightful aims from hostile forces is achieved through trustworthy support and sound advice, not by isolated effort.
The speaker (the son) continues advising about the kind of helpers and ministers a person should have, emphasizing that those who seek advancement and the recovery of what enemies have taken must rely on well-qualified, friendly advisers.
