Droṇa Encircled at Night: Coalition Advance and Battlefield Omens (द्रोणपर्यावरणं रात्रियुद्धवर्णनम्)
Devanagari script
अथ भीमस्तु बुक त्वा गुरोर्वाक्यमपेतभी: । क्रुद्ध: प्रोवाच वै द्रोणं रक्तताम्रेक्षणस्त्वरन्,गुरुका यह वचन सुनकर भीमसेनके नेत्र क्रोधसे लाल हो गये, वे बड़ी उतावलीके साथ द्रोणाचार्यसे निर्भय होकर बोले
Transliteration
atha bhīmas tu brūtvā guror vākyam apetabhīḥ | kruddhaḥ provāca vai droṇaṃ raktatāmrekṣaṇas tvaran |
Translation
Then Bhīma, having spoken in response to the teacher’s words and casting off all fear, angrily addressed Droṇa. His eyes, copper-red with wrath, he spoke in haste—undaunted—signaling a decisive turn from restraint to open confrontation in the moral chaos of war.
