Chapter-2 Sankhya Yogaḥ

avācya vādāṁśca bahūn vadiṣyanti tavāhitāḥ | nindantas tava sāmarthyaṁ tato duḥkhataraṁ nu kim || 36 || 36. Your enemies, slandering your prowess, will use words which should never be uttered. What could be more painful than that? Commentary Moreover, your enemies will make many slanderous and disparaging remarks about your ability, saying — 'How can this Arjuna stand before heroes like us, even for a moment? His [boasted] skill should be displayed anywhere else other than in our presence.' Can there be anything more painful to you than this? You yourself will understand that death is preferable to being subjected to such disparagement.
