न बाहुल्येन सेनाया जयो भवति भारत । अध्रुवो हि जयो नाम दैवं चात्र परायणम् । जयन्तो ह्यपि संग्रामे क्षयवन्तो भवन्त्युत॥६-४-३५॥
Victory does not arise from the mere abundance of an army, O Bhārata. Victory is inherently uncertain, and daiva—contingency and fate—is decisive here. Even those who prevail in battle may nonetheless suffer grievous losses.
