तव पुत्रशतं चैव कर्ण: पञ्च च पाण्डवा: । पृथिवीमनुशासेयुरखिलां सागराम्बराम्,आपके सौ पुत्र, कर्ण और पाँच पाण्डव--ये सब मिलकर समुद्रपर्यन्त सम्पूर्ण पृथ्वीका शासन कर सकते हैं
tava putraśataṃ caiva karṇaḥ pañca ca pāṇḍavāḥ | pṛthivīm anuśāseyuḥ akhilāṃ sāgarāmbarām ||
毗度罗说：“陛下的一百位王子，加上迦尔纳与五位般度子，若能同心协力，足以统御四海环绕的整个人间大地。两方皆具此等力量与才干；因此当择和合与依达摩之政，莫令这股威势在毁灭性的战争中白白耗尽。”

Educational Q&A
Vidura highlights that the combined strength of the Kauravas (including Karṇa) and the Pāṇḍavas is sufficient to rule the whole world; therefore, wisdom lies in reconciliation and righteous governance, not in destroying that potential through war born of greed and obstinacy.
In Udyoga Parva, Vidura counsels Dhṛtarāṣṭra during the tense pre-war negotiations. He urges the king to restrain Duryodhana and seek peace, pointing out that both sides together could uphold a vast kingdom—implying that conflict is unnecessary and morally disastrous.
