अध्याय ९९ — युयुधान-दुःशासन-युद्धम्

Chapter 99: Sātyaki and Duḥśāsana’s engagement

द्रोण: पाउ्चालपुत्रेण बली बलवता सह । यदक्षिपत्‌ पृषत्कौघांस्तदद्भुतमिवाभवत्‌,इस प्रकार जब महाभयंकर जनसंहार होने लगा और सारे सैनिक निर्भय-से होकर बन्द्-युद्ध करने लगे, उस समय बलवान द्रोणाचार्यने शक्तिशाली पांचालराजकुमार धृष्टद्युम्मके साथ युद्ध करते हुए जो बाणसमूहोंकी वर्षा आरम्भ की, वह अद्भुत-सी प्रतीत होने लगी

Sañjaya said: When the dreadful slaughter had begun and the warriors, as if fearless, pressed into close combat, mighty Droṇa—locked in battle with the powerful son of the Pāñcālas, Dhṛṣṭadyumna—unleashed such a dense torrent of arrows that it appeared almost wondrous. The scene underscores the terrible momentum of war: extraordinary martial skill manifests amid a morally fraught carnage that consumes both sides.
