Daruka echoes the same law that crowned Arjuna's oath: "jayaḥ eva dhruvaḥ tasya… yasya tvaṃ sārathyam upajagmivān" — victory is certain for him whose charioteer the Lord has become; how then could defeat come to him? It is telling that this truth is spoken by the servant who drives Krishna's horses: even he sees that it is not the horses nor the chariot, but God himself as charioteer, who decides the outcome. The verse teaches the heart of trust: where the Lord has become the charioteer of one's life, victory is unshakeable and defeat unthinkable; and one who has entrusted his chariot to God need only, like Daruka, do as commanded and await the 'fair dawn'.
