Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical tension between arrogant provocation and sober judgment: empty encouragement rooted in pride is rejected, and the listener asserts awareness of Duryodhana’s stance rather than being swayed by taunts or performative bravado.
Sanjaya reports a sharp retort: the speaker dismisses someone’s repeated message as merely echoing Duryodhana’s words, criticizing the tone as if the addressee were trying to ‘motivate’ capable people by implying their weakness.
