Comentário

Purport

Aqui, Duryodhana faz um estudo comparativo das forças. Pensa que o poder de suas forças armadas é incomensurável, estando especificamente protegidas pelo general mais experiente, o avô Bhīṣma. Por outro lado, as forças dos Pāṇḍavas são limitadas, estando protegidas por um general menos experiente, Bhīma, que na presença de Bhīṣma torna-se insignificante. Duryodhana sempre teve inveja de Bhīma porque sabia muito bem que, se ele tivesse que morrer, certamente seria morto por Bhīma. Mas ao mesmo tempo, confiava em sua vitória devido à presença de Bhīṣma, que era um general muito superior. Sua conclusão de que sairia vitorioso na batalha fazia bastante sentido.

Herein an estimation of comparative strength is made by Duryodhana. He thinks that the strength of his armed forces is immeasurable, being specifically protected by the most experienced general, Grandfather Bhīṣma. On the other hand, the forces of the Pāṇḍavas are limited, being protected by a less experienced general, Bhīma, who is like a fig in the presence of Bhīṣma. Duryodhana was always envious of Bhīma because he knew perfectly well that if he should die at all, he would only be killed by Bhīma. But at the same time, he was confident of his victory on account of the presence of Bhīṣma, who was a far superior general. His conclusion that he would come out of the battle victorious was well ascertained.
