Here is a fearsome example: those unconquerable from without were destroyed by discord from within. It is telling that brothers whom no one could overcome were ruined by passion for a single woman: inner discord is more terrible than an outer enemy. In this lies a lesson: desire, invading a brotherhood, destroys even what is unbreakable. Thus the scripture shows the lesson of Sunda and Upasunda; and Narada sets it forth as a warning to the Pandavas.
