तथा त्वमपि गान्धारे यावत्पाण्डुसुतान्रणे । नासादयसि तान्वीरांस्तावज्जीवसि पुत्रक॥५-१०३-३१॥
So too, O Gāndhāra: as long as you do not bring those heroic sons of Pāṇḍu to a decisive defeat in the ordered contest of war, so long will you live, my child.

Bhīma, foremost among strikers, the mighty son of Vāyu, and Dhanaṃjaya (Arjuna), the son of Indra—whom indeed, in battle, would they be unable to subdue and render powerless?

विष्णुर्वायुश्च शक्रश्च धर्मस्तौ चाश्विनावुभौ । एते देवास्त्वया केन हेतुना शक्यमीक्षितुम्॥५-१०३-३३॥
Viṣṇu, Vāyu, Śakra (Indra), Dharma, and the two Aśvins—by what reasoning do you imagine you can confront these deities?

Therefore, enough of opposition—turn to conciliation, O prince. With Vāsudeva as your refuge and purifying support, you ought to preserve your lineage.

Nārada, this great ascetic, is a direct witness to all this—namely, to the greatness of Viṣṇu, the bearer of discus and mace.
