tato droṇo 'jayad yuddhe cedikekayasṛñjayān
Sañjaya dit : Alors Droṇa prit l’avantage dans la bataille, triomphant des Cedis, des Kekayas et des Sṛñjayas — un épisode qui souligne comment la prouesse martiale et un commandement discipliné peuvent renverser la marée de façon décisive au milieu du chaos moral de la guerre.

The verse highlights the decisive power of trained skill and command in war, while implicitly reminding the listener that even such victories occur within a larger ethical crisis where dharma is strained by violence and shifting alliances.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Droṇa, fighting as a leading Kaurava commander, defeats contingents identified as the Cedis, Kekayas, and Sṛñjayas on the battlefield.
