Sanjaya Uvacha:
Drishtvatu Pandavanikam Vyudam Duryodhanasthada
Acharyam Upasangamya Raja Vachanamabravith.

Sanjaya begins his narration of all that he saw in the war, including the imparting of the Gita by Sri Krishna to Arjuna. On being questioned by Dhritarashtra, he tells him that the King Duryodhana, upset on seeing the army of the Pandavas which seemed confident in his eyes, ran up to his Acharya - preceptor and spoke these words.
The mind is often taken aback when it perceives the world as it comes closing in. Especially if the mind such as Duryodhana's, which has gone many a time on a rampage, scheming, planning and committing atrocities that disturb the smooth functioning of society.
Duryodhana's restlessness is evident in the manner in which he is plagued by fear of the mere presence of the Pandavas and running up to his Guru for help. Duryodhana is an example for what befalls a humanbeing who does not live a life in tune with the conscious divine principle and follows the path of Adharma - performing actions against the cosmic order.
