"With the troops in such a state, did Duryodhana himself, fallen into distress, charioteer, perchance not make a stand from behind in the fight? The encounter of one against many in that great battle, especially with the king, seems to me unequal. He, raised in utmost ease, lord of fortune and of the world -- alone, facing many, was he perchance not put to flight?"

The father worries over his pampered son: "atyantasukhasaṃvṛddhaḥ" -- raised in ease, accustomed to fortune, how will he stand alone against many? It is telling that ease and the habit of happiness seem like weakness before a trial. The verse teaches that one raised in comfort is vulnerable in adversity: whoever has known no hardship dreads the first grave trial, and a loving father is right to fear whether the pampered one can bear what he was never trained to bear.
