ବେଗ ଭଙ୍ଗ ହେବାରୁ ପରାକ୍ରମୀ ବୀର ଧୃଷ୍ଟଦ୍ୟୁମ୍ନ ତୁରନ୍ତ ରଥରୁ ଲାଫି ପଡ଼ିଲେ। ପରେ ପୁଣି ନିଜ ରଥରେ ଆରୋହଣ କରି, ମହାଧନୁ ଧରି, ଯୁଦ୍ଧରେ ଦ୍ରୋଣାଚାର୍ଯ୍ୟଙ୍କୁ ବେଧିବାକୁ ଅଗ୍ରସର ହେଲେ। ଦ୍ରୋଣ ମଧ୍ୟ ବାଣବର୍ଷାରେ ଦ୍ରୁପଦପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ଆହତ କଲେ।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights kṣatriya resolve: even when one’s advance is checked and one is wounded, a warrior regathers composure, takes up arms again, and continues the duty of battle. Ethically, it reflects steadfastness and disciplined courage amid adversity.
Dhṛṣṭadyumna, slowed and hurt by many arrows, jumps down from his chariot, remounts his own chariot, and takes up his great bow to renew his assault on Droṇa. Droṇa, in turn, strikes and wounds the son of Drupada (Dhṛṣṭadyumna).
