PURPORT
Even though Dhåñöadyumna was not a very important obstacle in the face of Droëäcärya’s very great power in the military art, there were many others who were causes of fear. They are mentioned by Duryodhana as great stumbling blocks on the path of victory because each and every one of them was as formidable as Bhéma and Arjuna. He knew the strength of Bhéma and Arjuna, and thus he compared the others with them.
