Droṇa’s Ācārya-Dakṣiṇā: Capture of Drupada and Division of Pāñcāla (द्रोण-आचार्यदक्षिणा)
प्रहारवेगाभिहता द्रुमा व्याघूर्णितास्तत: । सफलाः: प्रपतन्ति स्म द्रुतं त्रस्ता: कुमारका:,उनके वेगपूर्वक प्रहारसे आहत हो वे वृक्ष हिलने लगते और उनपर चढ़े हुए धृतराष्ट्रकुमार भयभीत हो फलोंसहित नीचे गिर पड़ते थे
prahāravegābhihatā drumā vyāghūrṇitās tataḥ | saphalāḥ prapatanti sma drutaṁ trastāḥ kumārakāḥ ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Dahil sa tindi ng mga hampas, ang mga punò ay nagsimulang umuga nang marahas. Pagkaraan, ang mga prinsipe—sa matinding takot—ay mabilis na nahulog kasama ng mga bunga. Ipinakikita ng tagpong ito na ang pabigla-biglang dahas at pananakot ay kayang gawing pinsala maging ang laro o pagpapakita ng lakas, at naglalantad ng takot at kawalang-tatag sa halip na tunay na kagitingan.

Educational Q&A
Force used carelessly becomes destructive and exposes inner fear rather than strength; intimidation and impulsive aggression lead to immediate harm and instability, contrasting with dharmic self-control.
Trees are struck with powerful blows and shake; the frightened princes who were on them fall down quickly, along with the fruits, as described by Vaiśampāyana.
