Drona Parva, Adhyāya 32

Devanagari script

शरार्ता न जहुद्रोणं पज्चाला: पाण्डवैः सह । वे पाण्डवोंसहित पाउ्चालवीर आर्यधर्मके अनुसार विजयके लिये प्रयत्नशील थे। उन्हें रोकना या पराजित करना बहुत कठिन था। वे बाणोंसे पीड़ित होनेपर भी द्रोणाचार्यको छोड़ न सके

Transliteration

śarārtā na jahur droṇaṃ pāñcālāḥ pāṇḍavaiḥ saha |

Translation

Sañjaya said: Though tormented by arrows, the Pāñcālas, together with the Pāṇḍavas, did not abandon Droṇa. Bound by the warrior’s code and intent on victory, they pressed on with relentless resolve—so formidable that to check or defeat them was exceedingly difficult.
