द्रोणपर्व (अध्याय ११२) — कर्णभीमयोर्युद्धम्, दुर्योधनस्य रक्षणादेशः
Droṇa-parva 112: Karṇa–Bhīma Engagement and Duryodhana’s Protective Order
तत्रारावो महानासीद् द्रोणमेकं॑ युयुत्सताम् । पाण्डवानां च भद्रें ते सृूज्जयानां च सर्वश:,राजन्! आपका भला हो। अकेले द्रोणाचार्यके साथ युद्ध करनेकी इच्छासे आये हुए पाण्डवों और सूंजयोंका वहाँ सब ओर महान् कोलाहल छा गया
tatrārāvo mahān āsīd droṇam ekaṃ yuyutsatām | pāṇḍavānāṃ ca bhadre te sṛñjayānāṃ ca sarvaśaḥ ||
Sañjaya berkata: Wahai raja, di sana bangkitlah gemuruh yang dahsyat—di segenap penjuru—dalam kalangan Pāṇḍava dan Sṛñjaya, yang datang dengan tekad untuk bertempur melawan Droṇa seorang diri.
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical strain of dharma in war: even a venerable teacher like Drona becomes a necessary opponent when allegiance and duty divide. It underscores how righteous intent and obligation can still generate immense violence and turmoil.
Sañjaya reports that a tremendous clamor erupts as the Pāṇḍavas and their Sṛñjaya allies converge from all directions, intent on engaging Drona, who stands as a singular, formidable focus of combat.
