サञ्जयは語った。――プリシャタの子ドリシュタデュムナは、ドローナの降らす矢の雨を、自らの矢の雨で迎え撃ち、矢をもって矢に対した。そこには戦の陰鬱な相互性が示される――技は技に、決意は決意に応じ、刹帝利の法（kṣātra-dharma）が両軍を容赦なき傷の応酬へと駆り立てるのである。

The verse highlights the harsh symmetry of warfare: aggression is met by equal counterforce. It implicitly points to the ethical tension in kṣatriya-dharma—duty and prowess operate within a cycle of retaliation that multiplies harm even when performed as ‘duty’.
Sañjaya reports that Dhṛṣṭadyumna (Pārṣata) counters Droṇa’s intense volleys of arrows with his own dense shower, effectively matching Droṇa’s attack and sustaining the fierce duel on the battlefield.
