"And to that mindless, foolish, gluttonous, ignorant Bhimasena, O Uluka, repeat my words many times: 'O Vrikodara, if you can, drink the blood of Duhshasana, as you helplessly swore in the midst of the assembly. The delivery of weapon-iron is complete; Kurukshetra is dry and free of mire; your horses are well-fed, your warriors provisioned. Tomorrow, fight, together with Keshava.'"

Uluka's message reveals Duryodhana's deliberate strategy: he is not merely declaring war but trying to inflame the Pandavas' pain, turning the memory of humiliation into a challenge. Truth is mixed with insult in these words — the suffering of Draupadi, the exile, and the vows genuinely call for an answer, yet they are voiced by the very man who caused that sin. Thus, before the battle begins, speech itself becomes a weapon.
