Translation

Sañjaya said: Then he advanced toward Droṇa, who was seated in the chariot’s nest-seat, moving along the pole of his own chariot; raising his sword and bearing a radiant shield marked with a hundred moon-emblems, he launched his assault. The scene underscores the relentless momentum of battle, where personal valor and tactical proximity drive the encounter even against a revered teacher on the field of dharma-war.
