Even though Dhṛṣṭadyumna was not a very important obstacle in the face of Droṇācārya’s very great power in the military art, there were many others who were causes of fear. They are mentioned by Duryodhana as great stumbling blocks on the path of victory because each and every one of them was as formidable as Bhīma and Arjuna. He knew the strength of Bhīma and Arjuna, and thus he compared the others with them.

Face à la science militaire de Droṇācārya, Dhṛṣṭadyumna, en soi, ne représente pas un très grand obstacle, mais d’autres guerriers du parti adverse sont à craindre. Duryodhana pense que la victoire sera extrêmement difficile à obtenir, car chacun d’eux est aussi redoutable que Bhīma et Arjuna.
