“Then let your mind, O Arjuna, turn away from dominion over the earth, as one impure turns away from heaven. For it is as hard for you, wishing to rule the kingdom, to attain it, as it is for one who has performed no austerity to attain paradise.”

In this chapter Uluka's speech becomes Duryodhana's harshest weapon. He recalls the Pandavas' real humiliations, but not for the sake of justice — only to wound and provoke. Notably, the boasting here is aimed at Arjuna: Duryodhana knows the strength of Krishna and the Gandiva, yet still clings to power, revealing a blindness that arguments can no longer cure.
