Shloka 15
धृष्टद्युम्न: प्रहस्यान्यत् पुनरादाय कार्मुकम् | शितेन चैनं बाणेन प्रत्यविध्यत् स्तनान्तरे,तब धृष्टद्युम्नने हँसकर फिर दूसरा धनुष उठाया और तीखे बाणद्वारा आचार्यकी छातीमें गहरी चोट पहुँचायी
dhṛṣṭadyumnaḥ prahasyānyat punar ādāya kārmukam | śitena cainaṃ bāṇena pratyavidhyat stanāntare |
قال سَنْجَايَا: ضحك دْرِشْتَدْيُومْنَة وأخذ قوسًا آخر من جديد، ثم أصاب دْرونَاآچاريا بسهمٍ حادّ، نافذًا إلى موضع الصدر.

Sañjaya reports that Dṛṣṭadyumna, after laughing, takes up another bow and shoots a sharp arrow that pierces Droṇācārya in the chest.
