Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1, Shlok 2

sañjaya uvācha
dṛiṣhṭvā tu pāṇḍavānīkaṁ vyūḍhaṁ duryodhanastadā |
āchāryamupasaṅgamya rājā vachanamabravīt ||

On observing the Pandava army standing in military formation, King Duryodhan approached his teacher Dronacharya, and said the following words.

This shloka describes the initial moments of the Mahabharata war. In this, one gets an opportunity to understand Duryodhana's character, his mindset and his conduct.

Inspirational example:

  • When we face a challenge, we should not depend only on external help. Self-confidence and loyalty are the greatest strength.
  • Like the Pandavas' army, if our efforts are organized and purposeful, then even the biggest challenge can be faced.
