Devanagari script
द्रोणो व्यमोहयच्छत्रून् सर्वसैन्यानि वा विभो । प्रभो! उन्हें रथ और विशेषतः आयुधसे रहित देख द्रोणाचार्यने शत्रुओं तथा उनकी सम्पूर्ण सेनाओंको मोहित कर दिया
Transliteration
sañjaya uvāca | droṇo vyamohayac chatrūn sarvasainyāni vā vibho |
Translation
Sañjaya said: O mighty one, Droṇa threw the enemy into confusion—indeed, their entire forces—seeing them deprived of their chariots and, above all, of their weapons. In the moral texture of the war, the verse highlights how mastery in battle can turn on disarming and disorienting an opponent, raising the tension between strategic necessity and the ethics of exploiting an enemy’s helplessness.
