चेदयश्व महेष्वासा द्रोणमेवाभ्ययुर्युधि । प्रजानाथ! तदनन्तर राजा ट्रुपदके तीनों ही पौत्रों तथा चेदिदेशीय महाधनुर्धर योद्धाओंने भी युद्धस्थलमें द्रोणाचार्यपर ही आक्रमण किया
cedayaś ca maheṣvāsā droṇam evābhyayur yudhi | prajānātha tad-anantaraṁ rājā drupadake trayo hi pautrāś ca cedideśīyā mahā-dhanurdharā yoddhāś ca yuddhasthale droṇācāryam eva abhya-krāman |
サञ्जयは言った。ついでチェーディの勇士たち、強弓の射手らが、戦場においてドローナただ一人に向かって進み出た。おお、人々の主よ！ その直後、ドルパダ王の三人の孫もまた、チェーディ国の大弓手たちとともに、戦場でドローナーチャールヤへ攻めかかり、クル軍の柱石として立つその師に狙いを定めた。

The verse highlights a battlefield ethic: when a single leader becomes the decisive support of an army, opponents concentrate force against him, even if he is a revered teacher. It reflects the tension between reverence for a guru and the kṣatriya imperative to neutralize the chief threat in war.
Sanjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the Cedi archers, and then Drupada’s three grandsons along with other Cedi bowmen, collectively advance and attack Droṇācārya on the battlefield, making him the focal target of their assault.
