Mahabharata 7.201.50 — Drona Parva, Adhyaya 201, Shloka 50
अद्य पश्यत मे वीर्य बाह्दो: पीनांसयोर्युधि । ज्वलमानस्य दीप्तस्य द्रौणेरस्त्रस्य वारणे
adya paśyata me vīryaṃ bāhvoḥ pīnāṃsayor yudhi | jvalamānasya dīptasya drauṇer astrasya vāraṇe ||
ఈ రోజు యుద్ధంలో నా ఈ రెండు పీనభుజాల బలాన్ని చూడండి—ద్రోణపుత్రుడు అశ్వత్థామ విసిరిన జ్వలంతమైన, దీప్తిమంతమైన అస్త్రాన్ని ఇవి ఎలా నివారించగలవో చూడండి.
