Translations

English Translation

The name you possess on this earth is insignificant; in the face of Duryodhana’s might here, it is of no consequence. Truly, the valiance associated with Duryodhana diminishes when he flees the battlefield.

हिंदी अनुवाद

आपका नाम इस धरती पर बेकार है; दुर्योधन की शक्ति का सामना करते समय इसका कोई महत्व नहीं है। वास्तव में, दुर्योधन की वीरता उस समय घट जाती है, जब वह रणभूमि से पलायन करता है।
