And many other heroes who for me have abandoned their lives, equipped with diverse weapons and missiles, all experts in the science of war

Duryodhana’s egocentrism manifests in mad-arthe (“for me”, “for my cause”). He claims that his warriors have “tyakta-jīvitāḥ” — abandoned their lives, renounced their very existence — all for him. It is a narcissistic projection: it is not that they have chosen, but that he claims ownership over their sacrifice.

The diversity of armament (nānā-śastra-praharaṇāḥ) suggests a versatile force. Yuddha-viśāradāḥ is not simply “experienced” but “scientifically versed in the art of war,” implying tactics, strategy, and technique.
