Here the cold calculation of envy takes the enemy's measure. It is telling that Duryodhana soberly admits the Pandavas' strength, and for that very reason seeks to kill their mainstay: fear runs deep where evil is being plotted. Here it is revealed that the wrongdoer himself recognizes the superiority of the righteous, and so resorts to treachery rather than open combat. Thus the text reveals an involuntary admission of the Pandavas' strength; and the reckoning on their "weakness" will prove false.
