Thy enemies also, cavilling at thy power, will speak many abusive words. What is more painful than this?

Your enemies will say many things that should not be said, mocking your strength. What could be more painful than that?

Krishna completes the picture of public shame. Arjuna's enemies would mock his strength and say many things not fit to be said. He asks what could be more painful than that. This concludes the series of verses that argue from honour and reputation. Some readers find these appeals less lofty than what precedes them, yet they serve a purpose: they show Arjuna that the path he proposes is not as clean as it seems, and that walking away carries its own suffering.
