cāmaravyajanākṣepair udayann iva bhāskaraḥ | pramukhe tasya sainyasya droṇo 'vasthitanāyakaḥ ||
Translation
Sañjaya berkata: Dengan kibasan chāmara (kipas ekor yak) dan kipas penghalau lalat yang disapu ke kiri dan kanan, Droṇa tampak bagaikan matahari yang sedang terbit. Berdiri di barisan paling hadapan bala tentera itu sebagai panglima utamanya, beliau menjadi pusat yang nyata bagi wibawa dan tekad—gambaran kemegahan perang yang mengobarkan semangat pihaknya dan menggentarkan musuh, meskipun kebenaran dharma dalam perang ini masih dipertikaikan.
