When all beings were praising Phalguna's boundless virtues and glorifying Keshava's friendship toward Arjuna, then at daybreak dejected Duryodhana spoke to Drona, [allegedly] out of affection, and out of wounded pride, and because of the enemy's growing strength.

All beings extol Arjuna's virtues and Krishna's love for him — and Duryodhana, hearing this, is "dejected." For an envious heart, another's glory is bitterness; the louder the praise for an enemy, the heavier the heart of the one who is his foe. It is telling that his speech is born of mingled feelings — feigned affection, wounded pride, and fear before a growing enemy. The verse teaches that envy poisons the heart with another's glory, turning praise for someone else into one's own torment; that words born of wounded pride are rarely straight — flattery mixes with reproach in them; and that wise is the one who discerns, beneath "friendly" speech, its true root, for one who speaks from injured self-regard and fear seeks not truth but relief for his own bitterness at another's expense.
