धृतराष्ट्रस्य मूर्च्छा तथा द्रोणविषयकप्रश्नाः
Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Fainting and Questions Concerning Droṇa
स सत्यसंधो बलवान् द्रोण: किमकरोदू युधि । समस्त जगतके धनुर्धर जिनकी विद्याका आश्रय लेकर जीवननिर्वाह करते हैं, उन सत्यपराक्रमी बलवान द्रोणाचार्यने युद्धमें क्या किया?
sa satyasaṃdho balavān droṇaḥ kim akarod yudhi | samasta-jagatake dhanurdhara jinakī vidyākā āśraya lekar jīvana-nirvāha karate haiṃ, un satya-parākrama balavān droṇācāryane yuddhameṃ kyā kiyā?
Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: “What did Droṇa do in the battle—Droṇa, steadfast in truth and mighty in strength? He is the powerful teacher of proven valor, upon whose martial knowledge the archers of the whole world depend for their livelihood; what, then, did Droṇācārya accomplish in the war?”
