Shloka 6
द्रोणेन केकय-चेदि-वीरवधः
Droṇa’s engagements with the Kekayas and Cedis
रथशिक्षां तु दाशाहों दर्शयामास वीर्यवान् | उत्तमाधममध्यानि मण्डलानि विदर्शयन्,दशाह्वंशी परम पराक्रमी भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण उत्तम, मध्यम और अधम तीनों प्रकारके मण्डल दिखाते हुए अपनी उत्तम रथ शिक्षाका प्रदर्शन करते थे
sañjaya uvāca | rathaśikṣāṃ tu dāśārho darśayāmāsa vīryavān | uttamādhamamadhyāni maṇḍalāni vidarśayan ||
サञ्जयは言った。勇力あるダーシャールハ（聖クリシュナ）は戦車操縦の奥義を示し、車輪の旋回と機動のすべて—上・中・下の三種—を余すところなく披露した。戦のただ中にあって、これは技を誇るための技ではない。速度と進路と危険を規律によって制し、味方を守り、暴力に対しても節度と責任をもって応ずるための統御なのである。

Educational Q&A
Even in warfare, excellence must be governed by discipline and responsibility: Kṛṣṇa’s charioteering skill represents controlled power used for protection and strategic restraint, not reckless display.
Sañjaya reports that Kṛṣṇa demonstrates advanced chariot maneuvers—circling patterns of varying grades (superior, middling, inferior)—showing his consummate command of battlefield driving and tactics.
