Дурьодхана
असौ धनंजयाग्निर् हि कोपमारुतचोदितः ॥
सेनाकक्षं दहति मे वह्निः कक्षम् इवोत्थितः ॥
अतिक्रान्ते हि कौन्तेये भित्त्वा सैन्यं परंतप ॥
जयद्रथस्य गोप्तारः संशयं परमं गताः ॥
स्थिरा बुद्धिर् नरेन्द्राणाम् आसीद् ब्रह्मविदां वर ॥
नातिक्रमिष्यति द्रोणं जातु जीवन् धनंजयः ॥
asau dhanaṃjayāgnir hi kopamārutacoditaḥ ||
senākakṣaṃ dahati me vahniḥ kakṣam ivotthitaḥ ||
atikrānte hi kaunteye bhittvā sainyaṃ paraṃtapa ||
jayadrathasya goptāraḥ saṃśayaṃ paramaṃ gatāḥ ||
sthirā buddhir narendrāṇām āsīd brahmavidāṃ vara ||
nātikramiṣyati droṇaṃ jātu jīvan dhanaṃjayaḥ ||
"For that fire-Dhananjaya, fanned by the wind of wrath, burns the dry undergrowth of my army as a kindled fire does grass. For when the Kaunteya had passed, breaking through the army, O scorcher of foes, the protectors of Jayadratha fell into extreme peril. Firm was the opinion of the kings, O best of the knowers of Brahman: 'Dhananjaya will never pass Drona while alive.'"

Duryodhana himself confesses on what the hope rested: "na atikramiṣyati droṇaṃ jīvan", "he will not pass Drona alive". The whole strategy rested on one man's impassability — and it collapsed. It is telling that reliance on a mortal barrier proved "firm" only in dreams. The verse teaches that a plan built on a single human support is unreliable: what seemed insurmountable is overcome by a will shielded by God; and the collapse of such a plan lays bare the vanity of hopes not resting on dharma.
