Shloka 32
त्वया पुनरनार्येण पूर्व पार्थेन निर्जित:
tvayā punar anāryeṇa pūrvaṃ pārthena nirjitaḥ
قال دريشتاديومنا: «أما أنت—وقد تصرّفتَ تصرّفاً دنيئاً غير كريم—فقد هزمك بارثا (أرجونا) من قبل.»
धृष्टह्युम्न उवाच

The line frames ethical judgment within warrior culture: victory and defeat are not only matters of strength but also of conduct. Calling someone 'anārya' condemns behavior seen as dishonorable, implying that true worth is tied to dharmic nobility, not merely power.
Dhṛṣṭadyumna addresses an opponent in the midst of the Drona Parva conflict, taunting and morally censuring him by recalling that he had previously been defeated by Pārtha (Arjuna). The remark functions as both an insult and a challenge, undermining the opponent’s standing on the battlefield.
