Chapter 2
avacyavadadtsca bahunvadisyanti tavahitah
nindantastava samarthyam tato duhkhataram nu kim
Your enemies, disparaging your strength, will speak in unbecoming terms. What could be more distressing than this? 36
Comment:-
Avucyaviidimsca bahunvadisyanti tavahitah nindantastava samarthyam:-Your sworn enemies, such as Duryodhana, Duhsasana and Kama etc., in spite of knowing your deeds of valour, will be little your strength and will laugh at you and call you a coward and impotent. How will you bear those insolent jokes and irrepairable ignominy?
Tato duhkhataram nu kim:-What can be more painful than this? It is generally seen that a person of respectable and high standing, cannot tolerate insults from persons of low standing and he performs deeds of mighty valour, beyond expectation. Similarly, you will not be able to tolerate ignominy and slander and so there will be no alternative for you, but to wage the war that has been declared. So, how could you bear that ignominy?
