पज्चाला: केकया मत्स्या: सृञज्जयाश्न विशाम्पते | सर्वोद्योगेनाभिजम्मुद्रोणमेव युयुत्मया,प्रजानाथ! फिर तो पांचाल, मत्स्य, केकय और सूंजय योद्धा युद्धकी इच्छासे पूर्ण उद्योग करके द्रोणाचार्यपर ही टूट पड़े

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how, in war, collective determination can converge upon a single pivotal figure, turning the conflict into a moral and strategic crucible: duty-driven warriors may focus their full effort on disabling the commander, raising questions of righteous means, proportionality, and the burdens borne by leaders.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that the allied forces—Pāñcālas, Kekayas, Matsyas, and Sṛñjayas—advance with full exertion and battle-intent, concentrating their attack specifically on Droṇa.
