Chapter 1 - Arjuna Vishada Yoga - Sloka 7
Asmakam tu visishta ye, taan nibodha dvijottama I
Nayaka mama sainyasya sangyartham taan bravimi te II
Know you, O the best of the twice born, all those who are our distinguished chiefs, the leaders of my army; I name them for your information.
Duryodhana censures his master in a subtle and concealed manner. His reprimand comes to this : "However capable you may be in teaching the science of warfare, you are after all, a Brahmana, given to peaceful life, and a bit timid too, by nature. It is too much to expect of you to be courageous in this war with the Pandavas. Still be not afraid. We too have mighty warriors on our side."
