वासुदेव उवाच
सुयोधनम् अतिक्रान्तम् एनं पश्य धनंजय ॥
आपद्गतम् इमं मन्ये नास्त्य् अस्य सदृशो रथः ॥

दृढास्त्रश् चित्रयोधी च धार्तराष्ट्रो महाबलः ॥
अत्यन्तसुखसंवृद्धो मानितश् च महारथैः ॥
कृती च सततं पार्थ नित्यं द्वेष्टि च पाण्डवान् ॥

"There, look, Dhananjaya, at Suyodhana who has come forward; I consider him fallen into calamity -- there is no charioteer equal to him. Far-striking, a great archer, skilled in weapons, fierce in battle, firm in weapons and versatile in fighting, the mighty son of Dhritarashtra; grown up in utmost comfort, and honored by the great warriors, and ever skilled, Partha, and one who constantly hates the Pandavas."

Krishna does not belittle the enemy: Duryodhana is "maheṣvāsaḥ kṛtāstraḥ... mahābalaḥ," a formidable archer. But he is "āpadgatam," fallen into calamity, for his hatred ("nityaṃ dveṣṭi pāṇḍavān") and his soft comfort ("atyantasukhasaṃvṛddhaḥ") have ruined him. It is telling that the Lord, acknowledging the enemy's strength, sees the root of his ruin in his own character. The verse teaches that a person's downfall is prepared by his own passions: hatred and soft living corrode even the valiant; and however skilled a warrior may be, constant enmity and indulgence lead him "into calamity" -- for it is not strength but a flawed character that predetermines the fall.
