TRANSLATION Here in this
army there are many heroic bowmen equal in fighting to Bhima and Arjuna;
there are also great fighters like Yuyudhana, Virata and Drupada.
PURPORT Even though
Dhrstadyumna was not a very important obstacle in the face of Dronacarya's
very great power in the military art, there were many others who were the
cause 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 Bhima and Arjuna. He knew the strength of Bhima and Arjuna, and thus
he compared the others with them.
