Sanjaya said: Having seen the army of the Pandavas drawn up in battle array, King Duryodhana approached his teacher, Drona, and spoke these words.
A Reading - Rantideb
Duryodhana's approach to his teacher Drona reveals his deep insecurity. Despite having a massive army, he relies on external validation rather than inner resolve.
