सञ्जय उवाच—यत्तो याहि रणे सूत शृणु चेदं वचः परम्। द्रोणाचार्यो हि मां रोद्धुं सर्वोपायैः प्रयास्यति; तस्मात् रणक्षेत्रे सावधानः सञ्चर, मम चेदं द्वितीयं वचनं शृणु॥

Educational Q&A
In the chaos of war, duty requires disciplined attention: the leader anticipates resistance, communicates clearly, and demands vigilance from those responsible for execution (here, the charioteer).
Sañjaya reports a warrior’s instruction to his charioteer to drive carefully in battle, anticipating that Droṇācārya will attempt to block or restrain his advance; the speaker adds that he has further important instructions to convey.
