After making the enemy look large, also show the strength of our own forces.

Duryodhana, mentioning the prominent warriors on the Pandava side, shifts the conversation to his own army. He tells Drona that it is not only the enemy who has strong warriors; their side also has key fighters.

This is not simply a change of personnel. While making the enemy fully aware of their danger, it also demonstrates to our own side that we are not lacking in individuals who possess heroism, intelligence, courage, and knowledge of weapons, thereby restoring psychological balance.

The call to Drawna is also polite here. While maintaining respect, it guides the opponent's attention from the enemy forces to our own strength, and focuses their awareness on the upcoming battle.

Section 7 is a short section that connects the introduction of the enemy forces and the introduction of our own forces, but it well represents Duryodhana's way of speaking.

Annotative Translation

In this document, the word "tu" is used with the meaning of "also."

By adding this to asmākam, which means "on our side," Duryodhana is trying to say that, in addition to the Pandava army, there are also many great heroes and warriors on his own side.

The word viśiṣṭāḥ is used to refer to those who are particularly excellent in his army, specifically regarding: heroism, fortitude, strength, intelligence, courage, martial prowess, vigor, knowledge of weapons.

The verb "nibodha" indicates that, within his own army, there was no shortage of heroes and warriors with outstanding qualities.

And he is going to list only the names of a few people who were selected from among them, for Professor Dona to personally know.

After this, Duryodhana mentions the names of his own side's main warriors in two sections, and praises them along with other heroes on his side.
