Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Madhvacarya has no commentary so we present Baladeva Vidyabhusanas. The attribute vikrantah meaning valiant is given to Yudhamanyu and again the attribute viryavan which is heroic is given to Uttamauja. Saubhadrah is Abhimanyu the son of Subhadra who is the wife of Arjuna. Draupadeyah are the five sons of Draupadi who are: Pratibindha, Srutasena, Srntakirti, Satanika and Srutavarma and by the use of the word ca it refers to Bhimas son Ghatatkaca and others. As for the Pandavas themselves Duryodhana did not mention them at all as their name and fame was known by everybody. The names of these 17 heroes mentioned and all those in favor of the Pandavas are all maha-rathas. By the use of the word sarve meaning all, Duryodhana instigates and agitates the fighting mood of Drona, by adding even those warriors who are atirathas and placed them in the class of maha-rathas as well. The defintion of maha-ratha is he who can fight against 10,000 bowmen all at the same time and not be defeated and is a master in the science of warfare and the use of all weapons. An ati-ratha is a hero who can fight against innumerable bowmen but less than 10,000 at the same time and remain undefeated. A yoddha-ratha is the hero who can fight against one bowmen at a time and remain undefeated and one who cannot even fight against one bowman successfully is called an arddha-ratha.
