युधिष्ठिरस्य कृष्णार्जुनादि-समाश्वासनम्
Yudhiṣṭhira’s reassurance and praise of Kṛṣṇa, Arjuna, Bhīma, and Sātyaki
ततो द्रोणं महाराज पाज्चाल्य: क्रोधमूर्च्छित: । आजपघानोरसि क्ुद्धो नवत्या नतपर्वणाम्,महाराज! तत्पश्चात् धृष्टद्युम्नने क्रोधसे अचेत होकर झुकी हुई गाँठवाले नब्बे बाणोंद्वारा द्रोणाचार्यकी छातीमें प्रहार किया
tato droṇaṁ mahārāja pāñcālyaḥ krodhamūrcchitaḥ | ājaghānorasi kruddho navatyā nataparvaṇām ||
Sañjaya said: Then, O King, the son of Pāñcāla (Dhṛṣṭadyumna), overcome by a swoon of wrath, angrily struck Droṇa upon the chest with ninety arrows whose joints were bent—an act that intensifies the ferocity of the battle and shows how anger, once it seizes the mind, drives even great warriors toward relentless violence rather than restraint.
