Commentary

Duryodhana is asking Drona to have a look of the army and is pointing out that in this army are present mighty people, great bowmen and people who are equal to Bheema and Arjuna in battle (bheem Arjun samaa yuddhi). There are mighty people like Yuyudhaan (Also known as Satyaki) Viraat and Drupada. (Shloka 4)

Further, there are Grishtketu, Chekitaan, mighty warrior and the King of Kashi Purujit, “Kuntibhoja” and the hero among men (narpungavah – Best among the men) Shaibya. (Shloka 5)

And are there the valiant Yudhamanyu, the formidable Uttamaujah, the son of Subhadra (Abhimanyu) and Sons of Draupadi (Draupadi has Five Sons) – all of them (indeed) are great lords of chariots (Maharathaa).

It is important to note that at that time Maharthaa was a sobriquet that was assigned to a warrior who could alone fight with “Ten Thousand” bowmen. Grishtketu was son of Shishupal. Prujit and Kuntibhoja are the name of same person.

Here Duryodhana was strategically analysing the Strength of Pandavas’ army. He was in a process of doing what we can compare from today’s terminology as SWOT Analysis.

In these Sholkas (From 2 – 6) he has analysed the strength of Pandava’s army and in shlokas to come he has analysed his army’s strength and weaknesses.
