Chapter-1.  

Slokam-7.

Asmakam    tu   visishta    ye    tan    nibhodha   dvijottama,

Nayaka   mama   sainyasya    Samjnartham   tan    brveemi    te.

Asmakam    =    Let, for us,

Mama   sainyasya    =    In my army,

Ye   nayakah    =    All those  chiefs,

Visishta,   tan    =     exemplary, them,

Samjnartham    te    brveemi     =     To let you know I  am talking,

Vijottama!   tan   nibhodha     =     Hey holy brapmana,  hear me about them.   

Here in this slokam,  Duryodhana addresses Dronacharya, "Dvijottama"  ( Holy Brapmana), and introduces the senior chiefs of his army to him.

Some blow whistle while walking in darkness to discard fear. So Duryodhana because of guilty conscious, lost his mental stability. Looking at strength of great warriors on the enemy   formations, he is restless and has no peace of mind.He wants some help and encouragement from his troops. Hence he approached the Guru Dronacharya. But Acharya is not talking.

Due to this Duryodhana started calling the names of fighters on his side. Duryodhana has no confidence in Dronacharya, for the following reasons: 

1. Drona is a brapmana by birth, then naturally soft in dealings.

2. Drona's sishyas are on the enemy side also with them he has love and favourable attitude.

3. Duryodhan's durbuddhi is wandering on possibilities, due to his doubtful mind.

With fear of war and doubts about the loyalty of his own side, he becomes weak.
