This is how Duryodhan describes to Guru Dronacharye the great and mighty warriors of Pandava’s army. What an impressive line-up of warriors indeed. Any army which has such a vast array of valiant warriors is certain to win. These are also the beautiful qualities of all good human beings. That is why Bhagvat Gita is considered to be a universal granth(scripture), not belonging to anyone in particular yet also relevant to the entire human race.

Muskuraate Raho !
