Droṇa’s Rebuke to Duryodhana after Jayadratha’s Fall (द्रोणेन दुर्योधनं प्रति प्रत्युक्तिः)
धृष्टद्युम्नं च विंशत्या द्रौपदेयांस्त्रिभिस्त्रिभि: । तत्पश्चात् उसने राजा विराट और ट्रपदको छः:-छः बाणोंसे बींध डाला, फिर शिखण्डीको सौ, धृष्टद्यम्मनको बीस और द्रौपदीपुत्रोंकी तीन-तीन बाणोंसे घायल किया
dhṛṣṭadyumnaṃ ca viṃśatyā draupadeyāṃs tribhis tribhiḥ | tatpaścāt sa rājānaṃ virāṭaṃ drupadaṃ ca ṣaḍbhiḥ ṣaḍbhir bāṇair viddhvā śikhaṇḍinaṃ śatena dhṛṣṭadyumnaṃ viṃśatyā draupadeyāṃs ca tribhis tribhir abhyahanat ||
Sañjaya said: He struck Dhṛṣṭadyumna with twenty arrows and wounded each of the sons of Draupadī with three. Thereafter, he pierced King Virāṭa and King Drupada with six arrows each; then he smote Śikhaṇḍin with a hundred arrows, Dhṛṣṭadyumna again with twenty, and the Draupadī-born princes with three each. The passage underscores the relentless, methodical violence of the battlefield, where even eminent allies and elders are reduced to targets—raising the Mahābhārata’s recurring ethical tension between martial duty and the human cost of war.
