“Your enemies will describe you in many unkind words and scorn your ability. What could be more painful for you?”

Commentary
Enemies would mock and ridicule Arjuna mercilessly. They would question his skills and courage. For a proud warrior, enduring such humiliation would be worse than death in battle.
