Transliteration

sañjaya uvāca | bhūyaś cānyat samādāya divyam āṅgirasaṃ dhanuḥ | śarāṃś ca brahmadaṇḍābhān dhṛṣṭadyumnam ayodhayat ||

Translation

Sañjaya said: Then again, taking up another divine bow known as Āṅgirasa, and arrows resembling the rod of Brahmā in their dread power, Droṇa renewed the combat and engaged Dhṛṣṭadyumna in battle—an escalation that underscores how, in the press of war, mastery of arms is repeatedly invoked to meet a destined adversary.
