17.2.22

avamene dhanurgrāhāneṣa sarvāṃśca phalgunaḥ |
yathā coktaṃ tathā caiva kartavyaṃ bhūtimicchatā || 22 ||

"Yudhishthira said, ‘Arjuna had said that he would consume all our foes in a single day. Proud of his heroism, he did not, however, accomplish what he had said. Hence has he fallen down. This Phalguna disregarded all wielders of bows. One desirous of prosperity should never indulge in such sentiments.’"

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
