द्रोणविक्रमदर्शनम् / The Display of Droṇa’s Onslaught and the Debate on Pāṇḍava Regrouping
युधामन्युं चतुःषष्ट्या त्रिंशता चैव सात्यकिम् । विद्ध्वा रुक्मरथस्तूर्ण युधिष्ठिरमुपाद्रवत्,युधामन्युको चौसठ तथा सात्यकिको तीस बाणोंसे घायल करके सुवर्णमय रथवाले द्रोणाचार्य राजा युधिष्ठिरकी ओर दौड़े
yudhāmanyuṁ catuḥṣaṣṭyā triṁśatā caiva sātyakim | viddhvā rukmarathas tūrṇaṁ yudhiṣṭhiram upādravat ||
ಯುದ್ಧಾಮನ್ಯುವನ್ನು ಅರವತ್ತನಾಲ್ಕು ಬಾಣಗಳಿಂದಲೂ, ಸಾತ್ಯಕಿಯನ್ನು ಮೂವತ್ತು ಬಾಣಗಳಿಂದಲೂ ತ್ವರಿತವಾಗಿ ವಿದ್ಧಮಾಡಿ, ಚಿನ್ನದ ರಥವಿರುವ ಆ ಯೋಧನು ತಕ್ಷಣವೇ ರಾಜ ಯುಧಿಷ್ಠಿರನ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಧಾವಿಸಿದನು।

Educational Q&A
Even when dharma is represented by a righteous leader like Yudhiṣṭhira, war subjects that center to relentless tactical pressure; the verse highlights how ethical steadiness must endure amid fear, injury, and aggressive escalation.
Sañjaya reports that the golden-charioted warrior first wounds Yudhāmanyu with sixty-four arrows and Sātyaki with thirty, then immediately rushes to attack King Yudhiṣṭhira, intensifying the threat to the Pāṇḍava command.
