Explanation · English
Duryodhana's first instinct upon seeing the Pandava army is to run to his teacher Drona — not to strategize, but to seek reassurance. This reveals his insecurity despite having the larger army. The word "vyūḍham" (arranged in formation) indicates the Pandavas are well-organized, which disturbs Duryodhana.
