उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय ८१: कृष्णस्य दूतप्रयाणम्
Udyoga Parva, Chapter 81: Krishna Sets Out as Envoy
धिक् पार्थस्य धनुष्मत्तां भीमसेनस्य धिग् बलम् | यत्र दुर्योधन: कृष्ण मुहूर्तमपि जीवति,भगवन्! ऐसी दशामें यदि दुर्योधन एक मुहूर्त भी जीवित रहता है तो अर्जुनके धनुषधारण और भीमसेनके बलको धिक्कार है
dhik pārthasya dhanuṣmattāṁ bhīmasenasya dhig balam | yatra duryodhanaḥ kṛṣṇa muhūrtam api jīvati, bhagavan ||
毗湿摩耶那说道：“若在这般境地之下——噢，奎师那，噢，至福的主——杜尤陀那竟还能苟活哪怕一瞬，那么阿周那以弓术著称的名声当受羞辱，毗摩塞那的神力也当受羞辱！”

Educational Q&A
The verse expresses that power and skill carry moral responsibility: when adharma has become intolerable, failing to restrain or end the wrongdoer is treated as a disgrace to those capable of protecting righteousness.
Vaiśampāyana, narrating events, voices a sharp rebuke: if Duryodhana can survive even a moment in the present crisis, then Arjuna’s archery and Bhīma’s strength are being rendered meaningless—an indictment meant to spur decisive action against the chief agent of adharma.
