bhayād raṇād uparataṃ maṃsyante tvāṃ mahārathāḥ |
yeṣāṃ ca tvaṃ bahumato bhūtvā yāsyasi lāghavam ||2.35|| |
|
Duryodhana and others – warriors fighting in great cars – will think that you have withdrawn from the battle through fear of Kama and others, but not through compassion. – Who are they that will think so? – The very persons, Duryodhana and others, by whom you have been esteemed as possessed of many noble qualities. Having been thus esteemed, you will again grow very small (in their estimation).
