यद्य् उत्पतसि लोकांस् त्रीन् यद्य् आविशसि भूतलम् ॥
तत्र तत्रार्जुनरथं प्रभाते द्रक्ष्यसे ऽग्रतः ॥
यच् चापि भीमसेनस्य मन्यसे मोघगर्जितम् ॥
दुःशासनस्य रुधिरं पीतम् इत्य् अवधार्यताम् ॥
न त्वां समीक्षते पार्थो नापि राजा युधिष्ठिरः ॥
न भीमसेनो न यमौ प्रतिकूलप्रभाषिणम् ॥
yady utpatasi lokāṃs trīn yady āviśasi bhūtalam ||
tatra tatrārjunarathaṃ prabhāte drakṣyase 'grataḥ ||
yac cāpi bhīmasenasya manyase moghagarjitam ||
duḥśāsanasya rudhiraṃ pītam ity avadhāryatām ||
na tvāṃ samīkṣate pārtho nāpi rājā yudhiṣṭhiraḥ ||
na bhīmaseno na yamau pratikūlaprabhāṣiṇam ||
'Even should you fly up into the three worlds or plunge beneath the earth, wherever you go you will see Arjuna's chariot before you at dawn. And as for what you think is Bhimasena's empty roaring, consider it already settled: the blood of Duhshasana will be drunk. Neither Partha, nor King Yudhishthira, nor Bhimasena, nor the twins take you into account when you speak with hostility.'

After Uluka's insults, the Pandavas' anger becomes almost physical -- they are described as serpents poised to strike. But it is Krishna who answers, and his speech keeps that anger within the channel of dharma: he does not argue with the challenge but declares its precise consequence. Victory will not be won through empty wrangling but through the fulfillment of a resolve already ripened.
