Daśame’hani Bhīṣma-yuddham — Śikhaṇḍī-rakṣaṇa, Arjuna-prabhāva, Duryodhana-āśraya-vākyam
रणे भारत पार्थेन द्रोणो विद्धस्त्रिभि: शरै: | नाचिन्तयच्च तान् बाणान् पार्थचापच्युतान् युधि,भारत! उस रणक्षेत्रमें अर्जुनने द्रोणाचार्यको तीन बाणोंसे घायल किया; परंतु अर्जुनके धनुषसे छूटे हुए उन बाणोंको युद्धस्थलमें द्रोणाचार्यने कुछ भी नहीं समझा
raṇe bhārata pārthena droṇo viddhas tribhiḥ śaraiḥ | nācintayac ca tān bāṇān pārthacāpacyutān yudhi, bhārata |
Sañjaya berkata: “Wahai Bhārata, dalam pertempuran Droṇa terkena tiga anak panah oleh Pārtha; namun di medan perang dia tidak menghiraukan sedikit pun anak panah yang dilepaskan dari busur Arjuna itu—tekadnya tetap teguh.”
