महिमानं महाराज योगयुक्तस्य गच्छत: । महाराज! अन्य सब लोगोंने योगयुक्त हो ऊर्ध्वगतिको जाते हुए बुद्धिमान् द्रोणाचार्यकी महिमाका साक्षात्कार नहीं किया
mahīmānaṁ mahārāja yogayuktasya gacchataḥ | mahārāja! anye sarve lokā yogayuktaḥ ūrdhvagatiṁ gacchantaṁ buddhimantaṁ droṇācāryaṁ mahimnā sākṣātkartuṁ na śekuḥ |
Sañjaya said: O King, the greatness of wise Droṇācārya—departing in yoga, united with disciplined concentration and moving toward the higher course—was not truly perceived by the others. Even as he rose beyond ordinary sight, the king, the surrounding people failed to recognize the spiritual majesty of one who leaves the world with yogic steadiness.
