Duryodhana proudly claims that there are many other heroes prepared to lay down their lives for his sake. While he intends to praise their loyalty, his choice of words is ironically prophetic. ‘Tyakta-jīvitāḥ’ literally means those who have given up their lives. Unknowingly, he is predicting the death of his entire assembly. He boasts that they are equipped with various weapons and are experts in military science. This verse reveals Duryodhana’s ego; he believes these warriors are fighting for him personally, rather than for a cause or for Dharma. It shows the nature of the Kaurava force: a collection of powerful individuals bound by personal loyalty, debt, or politics to a leader driven by greed. This contrasts with the Pāṇḍavas, who are united by duty and the presence of Kṛṣṇa.
