द्रोणविक्रमदर्शनम् / The Display of Droṇa’s Onslaught and the Debate on Pāṇḍava Regrouping
ततो द्रोणं महेष्वास: सत्यजित् सत्यविक्रम: । अविध्यन्निशिताग्रेण परमास्त्रं विदर्शयन्,सत्यपराक्रमी महाधनुर्धर सत्यजितने अपने उत्तम अस्त्रका प्रदर्शन करते हुए तेज धारवाले एक बाणसे द्रोणाचार्यको घायल कर दिया
tato droṇaṁ maheṣvāsaḥ satyajit satyavikramaḥ | avidhyanniśitāgreṇa paramāstraṁ vidarśayan |
ثم إن ساتياجيت، الرامي العظيم ذو البأس الذي لا يَفتر، وهو يُظهر أسمى مهارته في السلاح، أصاب دروناآتشاريّا بسهمٍ حادّ الطرف فأدماه.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical strain of dharma in war: personal reverence (toward a revered teacher like Droṇa) is subordinated to kṣatriya-duty and battlefield obligation, showing how righteous conflict can force painful actions against respected figures.
Sañjaya reports that Satyajit, a powerful archer, demonstrates his highest weapon-skill and pierces Droṇa with a sharp arrow, injuring him amid the fighting.
