तथा चरन्तं संग्रामे भृशं समरदुर्जयम् । इस प्रकार संग्राममें विचरते हुए रणदुर्जय द्रोणाचार्यपर राजा विराट और ट्रपदने एक साथ चढ़ाई की
tathā carantaṃ saṃgrāme bhṛśaṃ samaradurjayam |
Sañjaya dit : Tandis que Droṇācārya se mouvait au cœur de la mêlée—farouche et presque impossible à vaincre au combat—le roi Virāṭa et Drupada s’avancèrent ensemble contre lui, afin d’endiguer sa marche dévastatrice.

The verse highlights a practical ethic of kṣatriya conduct: when a destructive force dominates the battlefield, responsible leaders set aside rivalry and act together to restrain it. Courage is paired with strategic unity, suggesting that dharma in war includes protecting the larger order, not merely personal glory.
Sañjaya describes Droṇa ranging powerfully through the battle, nearly unconquerable. In response, King Virāṭa and King Drupada jointly advance to confront him, indicating a coordinated attempt to stop Droṇa’s momentum.
