Shloka 25
Droṇa’s Renewed Advance toward Yudhiṣṭhira; Fall of Satyajit and Allied Recoil (द्रोणस्य युधिष्ठिरप्रेप्सा—सत्यजितः पतनम्)
अनिष्टदर्शनं दृष्टवा धृष्टद्युम्नमवस्थितम् | क्षणेनैवाभवद् द्रोणो नातिहृष्टमना इव,जिसका दर्शन अनिष्टका सूचक था, उस धृष्टद्युम्नको सामने खड़ा देख द्रोणाचार्य क्षणभरमें अत्यन्त अप्रसन्न और उदास हो गये
aniṣṭadarśanaṃ dṛṣṭvā dhṛṣṭadyumnam avasthitam | kṣaṇenaivābhavad droṇo nātihṛṣṭamanā iva ||
ສັນຊະຍະກ່າວວ່າ: ເມື່ອເຫັນທຣິດສະຕະດຍຸມນະຢືນຢູ່ຕໍ່ໜ້າ—ຜູ້ທີ່ແຕ່ການເຫັນກໍເຫມືອນນໍາລາງຮ້າຍ—ດໂຣນະກໍເກີດອາການບໍ່ຍິນດີໃນໃຈທັນທີ ແລະຕົກຢູ່ໃນຄວາມບໍ່ພໍໃຈກັບຄວາມໝອງເສົ້າຢ່າງເຫັນໄດ້ຊັດ.

Educational Q&A
Even in the midst of righteous duty (dharma) and martial skill, the mind is affected by foreknowledge, omens, and personal destiny; ethical action in war is not merely physical combat but also the struggle to remain steady when confronted by fear, foreboding, and the consequences of past causes.
Sañjaya describes Droṇa seeing Dhṛṣṭadyumna standing before him. Because Dhṛṣṭadyumna is associated with Droṇa’s impending downfall, his very appearance is treated as inauspicious, and Droṇa’s mood instantly turns from confidence to visible displeasure and gloom.
