Purport

Duryodhana, võimekas diplomaat, tahtis juhtida tähelepanu Droṇācārya, suure brāhmaṇast ülemjuhataja eksimustele. Droṇācāryal oli olnud poliitiline tüli kuningas Drupadaga, Arjuna naise Draupadī isaga. Selle tüli järel viis Drupada läbi suurejoonelise ohvritalituse ning sai tänu sellele õnnistuse, et üks tema poegadest suudab tappa Droṇācārya. Droṇācārya teadis seda väga hästi ning siiski jagas ta kui vabastatud brāhmaṇa kõiki oma sõjasaladusi Drupada poja Dhṛṣṭadyumnaga, kes oli usaldatud sõjalise hariduse saamiseks tema hoolde. Kurukṣetra lahingus asus aga Dhṛṣṭadyumna Pāṇḍavate poolele ning tema oli ka see, kes rivistas üles nende armee, olles õppinud seda kunsti Droṇācāryalt. Duryodhana juhtis tähelepanu sellele Droṇācārya eksimusele nõnda, et viimane oleks lahingusse astudes valvas ja kompromissitu. Samuti tahtis ta sellega rõhutada, et Droṇācārya ei tohiks ilmutada halastust lahingus Pāṇdavate vastu, kes olid tema lemmikõpilased. Arjuna oli tema kõige lähedasem ja andekam õpilane. Duryodhana hoiatas, et selline leebus lahingus lõpeks kaotusega.

Duryodhana, a great diplomat, wanted to point out the defects of Droṇācārya, the great brāhmaṇa commander in chief. Droṇācārya had some political quarrel with King Drupada, the father of Draupadī, who was Arjuna’s wife. As a result of this quarrel, Drupada performed a great sacriﬁce, by which he received the benediction of having a son who would be able to kill Droṇācārya. Droṇācārya knew this perfectly well, and yet as a liberal brāhmaṇa he did not hesitate to impart all his military secrets when the son of Drupada, Dhṛṣṭadyumna, was entrusted to him for military education. Now, on the Battleﬁeld of Kurukṣetra, Dhṛṣṭadyumna took the side of the Pāṇḍavas, and it was he who arranged for their military phalanx, after having learned the art from Droṇācārya. Duryodhana pointed out this mistake of Droṇācārya’s so that he might be alert and uncompromising in the ﬁghting. By this he wanted to point out also that he should not be similarly lenient in battle against the Pāṇḍavas, who were also Droṇācārya’s affectionate students. Arjuna, especially, was his most affectionate and brilliant student. Duryodhana also warned that such leniency in the ﬁght would lead to defeat.
