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.
