Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Saṃjaya Dialogue; Account of Sātyaki vs Alambusa

Devanagari script

आच्छादयदसम्भ्रान्तस्ततो द्रोण उवाच ह । इसी प्रकार सात्यकिने भी बिना किसी घबराहटके बहुत-से शीघ्रगामी बाणोंकी वर्षा करके द्रोणाचार्यको ढक दिया। तब द्रोणाचार्य बोले--

Transliteration

ācchādayad asambhrāntas tato droṇa uvāca ha | (iti prakāraḥ sātyakine'pi vinā ghābarāhaṭena bahu-śīghragāmī-bāṇa-varṣāṃ kṛtvā droṇācāryaṃ ācchādayām āsa | tataḥ droṇācārya uvāca—)

Translation

Sañjaya said: Unshaken and composed, he covered Droṇa with a dense shower of swift-flying arrows. In the same manner, Sātyaki too—without the least panic—rained many rapid shafts and enveloped Droṇācārya. Then Droṇa spoke.
