Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 06, Chapter 12, Text 17

SB 6.12.17

prana-glaho ’yam samara
 isv-akso vahanasanah
atra na jñayate ’musya
 jayo ’musya parajayah
 
Translation by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada: 
 
O my enemy, consider this battle a gambling match in which our lives are the stakes, the arrows are the dice, and the animals acting as carriers are the game board. No one can understand who will be defeated and who will be victorious. It all depends on providence.
