सर्वे ह्यस्त्रविदः शूराः सर्वे प्राप्ता महद्यशः । अपि सर्वामरैश्वर्यं त्यजेयुर्न पुनर्जयम् । वधे नूनं भवेच्छान्तिस्तयोर्वा फल्गुनस्य वा॥५-५१-६॥
All are masters of weapons; all are heroic; all have won great renown. They might renounce even sovereignty among the gods, but never victory. Peace, surely, would come only through the death of the two—or of Phalguna (Arjuna).
english translation
न तु जेतार्जुनस्यास्ति हन्ता चास्य न विद्यते । मन्युस्तस्य कथं शाम्येन्मन्दान्प्रति य उत्थितः॥५-५१-७॥
There is no one who can conquer Arjuna, nor anyone who can bring him down. How could his wrath be stilled, once it has risen against those of poor judgment?
english translation
अन्येऽप्यस्त्राणि जानन्ति जीयन्ते च जयन्ति च । एकान्तविजयस्त्वेव श्रूयते फल्गुनस्य ह॥५-५१-८॥
Others too know the use of weapons; they are sometimes defeated and sometimes victorious. But of Phalguna (Arjuna) alone, tradition reports an unbroken record of victory.
english translation
त्रयस्त्रिंशत्समाहूय खाण्डवेऽग्निमतर्पयत् । जिगाय च सुरान्सर्वान्नास्य वेद्मि पराजयम्॥५-५१-९॥
Having summoned the Thirty-three (gods), he satisfied Agni in the Khāṇḍava forest; and he overcame all the Devas—of his defeat I know of none.
english translation
यस्य यन्ता हृषीकेशः शीलवृत्तसमो युधि । ध्रुवस्तस्य जयस्तात यथेन्द्रस्य जयस्तथा॥५-५१-१०॥
He whose charioteer is Hṛṣīkeśa (Kṛṣṇa), whose conduct and discipline are steady in engagement—his victory is assured, dear one, just as Indra’s victory is assured.
