द्रोणविक्रमदर्शनम् / The Display of Droṇa’s Onslaught and the Debate on Pāṇḍava Regrouping
ततो द्रोणं महेष्वास: सत्यजित् सत्यविक्रम: । अविध्यन्निशिताग्रेण परमास्त्रं विदर्शयन्
tato droṇaṁ maheṣvāsaḥ satyajit satyavikramaḥ | avidhyanniśitāgreṇa paramāstraṁ vidarśayan |
បន្ទាប់មក សត្យជិត មហាធនូរធរ អ្នកបាញ់ធ្នូដ៏ល្បីដោយវីរភាពមិនរអាក់រអួល បានបង្ហាញជំនាញអាវុធដ៏ឧត្តមរបស់ខ្លួន ហើយបានបាញ់ព្រួញមួយមានចុងមុត ទៅលើ ដ្រូណាចារ្យ ឲ្យរងរបួស។
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights the ethical strain of dharma in war: personal reverence (toward a revered teacher like Droṇa) is subordinated to kṣatriya-duty and battlefield obligation, showing how righteous conflict can force painful actions against respected figures.
Sañjaya reports that Satyajit, a powerful archer, demonstrates his highest weapon-skill and pierces Droṇa with a sharp arrow, injuring him amid the fighting.
