Then the suta, [though] obedient to him, but afraid of the wrath of Drupada's daughter, setting aside his pride, turned again to the assembly: 'What shall I say [to her]?' [Duryodhana:] 'Duhshasana, this son of a suta of mine, recoils before Vrikodara, feeble-minded; go yourself, seize and bring Yajnaseni; what can the helpless rivals do to you?'

Even the suta under compulsion is afraid — not of Bhima alone, but of the wrongness of the deed itself: his dread of "the wrath of Drupada's daughter" is the voice of conscience. It is telling that Duryodhana now entrusts the wicked task not to a servant, but to his own brother: where the hireling recoils, kin steps forward as accomplice. The verse teaches that an evil deed is refused even by its own instruments, so long as shame still glimmers in them; and then the instigator takes an executor from among his own, in whom shame has already died out. "Helpless rivals" — blind arrogance: he imagines the Pandavas powerless, not knowing that he is forging his own avengers. Whoever, drunk with victory, tramples the defenseless does not see how the sword of his own destruction is being forged.
