O King.
Śrī Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O King, Vṛtrāsura, the commander in chief of the demons, advised his lieutenants in the principles of religion, but the cowardly demoniac commanders, intent upon fleeing the battlefield, were so disturbed by fear that they could not accept his words.

Gauḍīya
Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O King! When Vṛtrāsura, the commander of the demons, advised his followers in the principles of religion, the frightened and disturbed demons, intent upon fleeing the battlefield, could not accept his words.
In the Eleventh Chapter, the words of Vṛtrāsura during the battle reveal his bravery and to some extent, his prema.
