Transliteration
drauṇiśv-ukopa pārthāya kṛṣṇāya ca viśeṣataḥ | sa tu yatto rathe sthitvā vāry upaspṛśya vīryavān ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Aśvatthāman, Droṇa’s son, flared up in anger against Pārtha (Arjuna) and, in particular, against Kṛṣṇa. Yet that mighty warrior, restraining himself, remained standing on his chariot and performed the rite of touching water—an act of composed preparation before action.
