Shloka 63
विह्वलं तं तु वीक्ष्याथ द्रोणपुत्रं च सारथि: । अपोवाह रथेनाजौ त्वरमाणो रणाजिरात्,द्रोणकुमारको विह्नलल देखकर उसका सारथि बड़ी उतावलीके साथ उसे रथके द्वारा समरांगणसे दूर हटा ले गया
vihvalaṃ taṃ tu vīkṣyātha droṇaputraṃ ca sārathiḥ | apovāha rathenājau tvaramāṇo raṇājirāt ||
Sañjaya dijo: Al ver al hijo de Droṇa aturdido y abatido, su auriga, apresurándose, apartó el carro del campo de batalla y lo sacó del fragor del combate.

Educational Q&A
Even in war, dharma includes discerning when force must yield to protection: a charioteer’s responsibility is not merely to advance the fight but to safeguard the warrior when he is mentally or physically overwhelmed.
Sañjaya reports that Droṇa’s son (Aśvatthāmā) becomes distressed; seeing this, his charioteer quickly drives the chariot away, withdrawing him from the battlefield.
