Śalya–Yudhiṣṭhira Duel and the Discharge of the Śakti (शल्यवधप्रसङ्गः)
द्रोणोपदेशान् विविधान् दर्शयानो महामना: । ववर्ष शरवर्षाणि चित्र लघु च सुष्ठ च
droṇopadeśān vividhān darśayāno mahāmanāḥ | vavarṣa śaravarṣāṇi citra-laghu ca suṣṭhu ca ||
サञ्जयは言った。ドローナより授かった多様な武芸の教えを実戦のうちに示しつつ、その大いなる魂の戦士は矢の雨を降らせた――形は千変万化し、飛翔は迅く、放たれ方は完璧であり、戦の暴威のただ中にあっても鍛え抜かれた技の規律を明らかにした。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical weight of disciplined training: knowledge received from a teacher (Droṇa) is validated by controlled, excellent execution. Even in war, mastery is portrayed as the fruit of instruction, practice, and adherence to one’s kṣatriya craft.
Sañjaya describes a great warrior demonstrating the diverse techniques learned from Droṇa by unleashing a rapid, well-aimed, and varied barrage of arrows on the battlefield.
