Udyoga Parva Adhyāya 58 — Saṃjaya’s Audience and Kṛṣṇa’s Deterrent Counsel (संजय-प्रवेशः कृष्णवाक्यं च)
यत् तद् विराटनगरे श्रूयते महदद्भुतम् | एकस्य च बहूनां च पर्याप्तं तन्निदर्शनम्
yat tad virāṭanagare śrūyate mahadadbhutam | ekasya ca bahūnāṁ ca paryāptaṁ tannidarśanam ||
“在毗罗吒城中传闻的那桩伟大而奇异的事——一人独当众多之敌的交锋——足以作为我方才所言真实无误的明证。”

A well-attested example can serve as decisive evidence: the famed ‘one versus many’ feat at Virāṭa is invoked to validate the speaker’s preceding claim, implying that extraordinary success arises from true prowess aligned with rightful purpose and (implicitly) divine favor.
Vāyudeva points to the widely known report of the astonishing combat at Virāṭanagara—where Arjuna stood alone against many Kauravas—as a concrete illustration that confirms the truth of what he has just stated.
