Chapter 1 • Verse 5
धृष्टकेतुश्चेकितानः काशिराजश्च वीर्यवान्। पुरुजित्कुन्तिभोजश्च शैब्यश्च नरपुङ्गवः॥
dhṛiṣhṭaketuśh chekitānaḥ kāśhirājaśhcha vīryavān purujit kuntibhojaśhcha śhaibyaśhcha nara-puṅgavaḥ
Meaning
There are also Dhrishtaketu, Chekitana, the valiant king of Kashi, Purujit, Kuntibhoja, and Shaibya, the best of men.
The enumeration continues, showing Duryodhana's growing anxiety. When we are insecure, we tend to magnify the strengths of our perceived adversaries.
Strength Reflection
"I choose to acknowledge my own capabilities instead of magnifying the strengths of others."
Devotional Surrender
O Krishna, grant me the confidence that comes from knowing You are always with me.
