Then, grieved at these words, the son of Bharadvaja spoke to the king: "It does not befit you to think wrongly of me, who strive for your good. [Even] all the worlds — with the gods, asuras and gandharvas, with the yakshas, serpents and rakshasas — are not able to conquer in battle the army guarded by the Diademed One. Where the creator of the universe, Govinda, and Arjuna, destroyer of enemy hosts, are present — there whose strength would prevail, except the Lord's, three-eyed Shiva's?"

Drona states plainly the secret of the Pandavas' invincibility: with them is "the creator of the universe, Govinda." Where the Lord Himself is present, all the worlds are powerless — gods, asuras, every host of beings; only Shiva, and he as an aspect of the Divine, might withstand it. Thus the highest truth is revealed: victory lies not in numbers or in skill, but in the presence of God. It is telling that Drona himself confesses this — the wise recognize and acknowledge on whose side the Lord stands. The verse teaches that where the Almighty is present, every other power is in vain, and to oppose Him is to oppose the insurmountable; that the wise discern the hand of God in events and are not deceived by seeming might; and that true invincibility is granted not by weapons but by closeness to the Lord — whom He protects, all the worlds together cannot overcome.
