Even
though Dhrstadyumna was not a very important obstacle in the face of
Dronacarya's very great power in the military art, there were many others who
were the cause 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 Bhima and Arjuna. He knew the strength of Bhima and Arjuna, and
thus he compared the others with them.
