“Sanjaya said: O King, after seeing the army of the Pandavas arrayed in military formation, King Duryodhana approached his teacher Drona and spoke these words.”
Sanskrit
सञ्जय उवाच | दृष्ट्वा तु पाण्डवानीकं व्यूढं दुर्योधनस्तदा | आचार्यमुपसङ्गम्य राजा वचनमब्रवीत् ||
Transliteration
sañjaya uvāca dṛṣṭvā tu pāṇḍavānīkaṁ vyūḍhaṁ duryodhanas tadā ācāryam upasaṅgamya rājā vacanam abravīt
Commentary
Sanjaya begins his narration. Duryodhana, seeing the well-organized Pandava army, feels anxious and seeks reassurance from his teacher Dronacharya. This reveals his underlying insecurity despite his larger army.
