अथ द्रोणो महेष्वासो दशभि: शिनिपुड्भवम् | अविध्यत् त्वरितं क्रुद्ध: सर्वशस्त्रभूृतां वर:,तदनन्तर सम्पूर्ण शस्त्रधारियोंमें श्रेष्ठ महाधनुर्थर द्रोणाचार्यने कुपित होकर तुरंत ही दस बाणोंसे शिनिप्रवर सात्यकिको बींध डाला
atha droṇo maheṣvāso daśabhiḥ śinipuḍbhavam | avidhyat tvaritaṃ kruddhaḥ sarvaśastrabhṛtāṃ varaḥ ||
サンジャヤは言った。そこでドローナは、大弓の達人にして武器を執る者の中でも第一の者、怒りに駆られつつも迅速に決し、シニの末裔サーティヤキを十本の矢で射貫いた。

The verse highlights how anger (krodha) can propel even the most accomplished and disciplined warrior into swift, forceful action; it invites reflection on the ethical tension between martial duty (kṣatriya-dharma) and the inner governance of emotions in war.
Sañjaya reports that Droṇa, enraged, rapidly shoots and pierces Sātyaki—identified by his Śini lineage—with ten arrows, marking an intense exchange between leading fighters in the Drona Parva battle sequence.
