Context, Sanskrit and lesson transcript
After naming warriors in the Pandava army, Duryodhana turns to his own forces.
अस्माकं तु विशिष्टा ये तान्निबोध द्विजोत्तम।
नायका मम सैन्यस्य संज्ञार्थं तान्ब्रवीमि ते॥७॥
Brief meaning, in our own words. Addressing Drona, he says that he will identify the leading figures on his side.
The speech moves from looking outward to describing his own support. This is still the battlefield conversation reported by Sanjaya.
Here is our everyday reflection. Before a difficult task, quietly name the people who help you. What do you owe them in care, honesty and respect?
