Droṇa’s engagements with the Kekayas and Cedis
तत्र पार्थस्य भुजयोर्महद्धलमदृश्यत । यत् क्रुद्धो बहुला: सेना: सर्वतः समवारयत्,उस समय वहाँ अर्जुनकी दोनों भुजाओंका महान् बल देखनेमें आया। उन्होंने कुपित होकर उन विशाल सेनाओंको सब ओर जहाँ-की-तहाँ रोक दिया
tatra pārthasya bhujayor mahad balam adṛśyata | yat kruddho bahulāḥ senāḥ sarvataḥ samavārayat ||
There, the mighty strength of Pārtha’s two arms became manifest: in wrath he checked the many great armies on every side, holding them back wherever they advanced.
