अस्माकं तु विशिष्टा ये तान्निबोध द्विजोत्तम |
नायका मम सैन्यस्य संज्ञार्थं तान्ब्रवीमि ते ||7||
नायका मम सैन्यस्य संज्ञार्थं तान्ब्रवीमि ते ||7||
But for your information, O best of Brahmanas, let me tell you the names of the distinguished leaders of my army.
- Dvijottama: The best among Brahmanas.
- Nāyakā: Leaders.
- Asmākaṁ: Of our army.
- Viśiṣṭā: Distinguished or excellent.
After listing the leaders of the Pandava army, Duryodhana now shifts his attention to his own army. By addressing Dronacharya as “Dvijottama,” the best among Brahmanas, he aims to flatter his teacher, encouraging him to feel pride in his role as the mentor of many of these warriors.
