Even though Dhṛṣá¹adyumna was not a very important obstacle in the face of DroṇÄcÄrya’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 BhÄ«ma and Arjuna. He knew the strength of BhÄ«ma and Arjuna, and thus he compared the others with them.
