"...were slain by the lord of men [Arjuna] -- and that is known to you. The gandharvas at the ghosha-yatra, Chitrasena and the rest, were defeated; you, being led away captive by them, were freed by the firm-bowed one. And the Nivatakavachas, enemies of the gods, unconquerable by the gods in battle, were defeated by that hero. Thousands of danavas dwelling in Hiranyapura were conquered by the tiger among men; how then is he conquerable by men? And before your very own eyes, everything -- how this your army [perished before him]."

Drona reminds Duryodhana of his own disgrace: captured by the gandharvas, he was rescued by that very Arjuna he now calls to kill. It is telling how this exposes ingratitude: the one who was saved plots the death of his savior. The verse teaches that forgetting a good deed done to us is baseness; and to remind a proud man of the debt of gratitude he has trampled is a bitter but righteous rebuke, laying bare the whole injustice of his enmity.
