• andha-dṛk — whose vision is blind
  Compound: andha (blind) + dṛś (sight). A double charge — Dhṛtarāṣṭra is literally blind, but the compound also names his moral vision. The Bhāgavatam stacks the two senses; the inner blindness is the dangerous one.
• duḥ-putra-vaśa-gaḥ — fallen under the control of his wicked sons
  Compound: duḥ (bad) + putra (son) + vaśa (control, sway) + ga (gone to). The king's authority has been hostaged by Duryodhana and his brothers. Vaśa-ga is the precise word for one who has surrendered his own will.
• dīna-dhīḥ — whose mind is wretched, weak-minded
  Compound: dīna (wretched, depleted) + dhī (intellect). The king is weak in the place where a king most needs to be strong. Gauḍīyas note that dīna usually praises the devotee's humility; here it indicts the unfit ruler.
• ambikā-putraḥ — the son of Ambikā
  Compound: ambikā (the queen Ambikā) + putra (son). The Bhāgavatam names him by his mother rather than by title — perhaps a soft note that his rule is not by inherent kingliness but by accident of birth. He sits where Pāṇḍu should have sat.

A blind king with cruel sons is the worst kind of guardian for orphaned nephews. The eye that cannot see has surrendered judgment to the louder voice in the room — and Duryodhana is always the louder voice. Kṛṣṇa names the problem in one verse and dispatches Akrūra to confirm what He already knows.
