Shloka 366
यतमानोडर्जुनं प्रीत्या प्रत्यवारयदुत्स्मयन् । महामनस्वी वीरोंके बीचमें अर्जुनके द्वारा इस प्रकार रोके जाते हुए द्रोणाचार्य प्रयत्न करके प्रसन्नतापूर्वक मुसकराते हुए स्वयं भी अर्जुनको आगे बढ़नेसे रोकने लगे
sañjaya uvāca | yatamāno 'rjunaṃ prītyā pratyavārayad utsmayan | mahāmanasvī vīro 'ṅke bīcam̐ meṃ arjunenaivaṃ prakāraṃ roke jāte droṇācāryaḥ prayatnena prasannatāpūrvakaṃ muskarāte hue svayam api arjunaṃ āge baḍhne se rokane lage |
Dengan kasih sayang dan senyum, ia menahan laju Arjuna. Walau di tengah para kesatria ia tertahan demikian oleh Arjuna, Droṇācārya yang berhati agung—dengan upaya penuh dan senyum tenang—mulai pula mengekang Arjuna agar tidak terus menerjang ke depan.
