Shloka 206
भीष्मपर्व — अध्याय ६२: वासुदेवमहात्म्यप्रशंसा (देव–ब्रह्मसंवादः)
जघ्नतुर्विशिखैस्तीक्ष्पै: परानीकविनाशनै: । दूसरी ओरसे रथियोंमें श्रेष्ठ ट्रपदकुमार धृष्टद्युम्न तथा धर्मपुत्र युधिष्छिर शत्रु-सेनाका विनाश करनेवाले तीखे बाणोंद्वारा द्रोणाचार्य और भीष्मके देखते-देखते कौरव-सेनाको पीड़ित करते हुए उसका पीछा करने लगे

サञ्जयは言った。「彼らは敵の陣形を打ち砕く鋭い矢をもって、敵軍の列を撃ち倒した。さらに別の方角から、戦車武者のうち最も卓れた者――ドルパダの子ドリシュタデュムナと、ダルマの子ユディシュティラ――が、ドローナとビーシュマの見守るまさにその眼前で、敵軍殲滅を期した鋭い矢でカウラヴァ軍を執拗に悩ませ、追撃していった。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights kṣatriya-duty in battle: decisive action, coordinated leadership, and steadfast pursuit of a military objective, even under the gaze of formidable elders like Droṇa and Bhīṣma—showing how dharma in war is framed as disciplined responsibility rather than personal hatred.
Dhṛṣṭadyumna and Yudhiṣṭhira, described as foremost chariot-warriors, attack and pressure the Kaurava forces with sharp, formation-breaking arrows and then pursue the retreating/pressed host, all while Droṇa and Bhīṣma witness the action.
