Droṇa’s Rebuke to Duryodhana after Jayadratha’s Fall (द्रोणेन दुर्योधनं प्रति प्रत्युक्तिः)
Devanagari script
चण्डवातोद्धुतान् मेघान् गिरिरम्बुमुचो यथा । उस समय युद्धमें युधिष्ठिरको पकड़नेकी इच्छावाले द्रोणाचार्यने उन सब योद्धाओंको उसी प्रकार रोक दिया, जैसे प्रचण्ड वायुद्वारा उड़ाये गये जलवर्षी मेघोंको पर्वत रोक देता है

Translation
Sanjaya said: Like a mountain that checks rain-bearing clouds driven forward by a fierce wind, Drona, intent on seizing Yudhishthira, held back and halted all those warriors on the battlefield. The image underscores how a single resolute commander, driven by a targeted aim, can become an immovable barrier amid the chaos of war.
