निशितेनातिबाणेन द्रौणिं विव्याध पार्षत: । महाराज! ऐसा कहकर अमर्षशील सेनापति ट्रुपदकुमारने अत्यन्त तीखे बाणसे द्रोणपुत्रको बींध डाला
niśitenātibāṇena drauṇiṃ vivyādha pārṣataḥ | mahārāja |
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—মহাৰাজ! এনেদৰে কৈ, অমর্ষশীল সেনাপতি দ্ৰুপদপুত্ৰ ধৃষ্টদ্যুম্নে অতি তীক্ষ্ণ শৰৰে দ্ৰোণপুত্ৰ অশ্বত্থামাক বিদ্ধ কৰিলে।

The verse highlights the war-ethic of swift action under kṣatriya-duty, while also hinting at the moral tension of anger-driven combat: martial resolve can fulfill duty, yet it easily becomes fueled by amarsa (resentful fury), intensifying violence.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Dhṛṣṭadyumna (Drupada’s son), after speaking, shoots a very sharp and powerful arrow and pierces Aśvatthāman (Droṇa’s son).
