TRANSLATION

Here in this army there are many


heroic bowmen equal in fighting
to Bhīma and Arjuna; there are also
great fighters like
Yuyudhāna, Virāṭa and Drupada.
PURPORT
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 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 Bhīma and Arjuna.
He knew the strength
of Bhīma and Arjuna, and thus he
compared the others with them.

Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport
