Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda
TRANSLATION
A few heroes—namely Jarāsandha, Śiśupāla, Bhīma, Duryodhana, Karṇa and the King of Ambaṣṭha—succeeded in stringing the bow, but none of them could find the target.
PURPORT
These kings were very strong physically, but they were not skillful enough to find the target.
