That lord of battles, desirous of slaying whom the enraged Monarchs united together for six months in Varanavata could not defeat, that best of all wielders of bows, that hero of great strength and unerring aim, that foremost of men, Yuyutsu, tried to keep him away from Drona?
यं योधयन्तो राजानो नाजयन् वारणावते। षण्मासानपि संरब्धा जिघांसन्तो युधाम्पतिम्॥ धनुष्मतां वरं शूरं सत्यसंघ महाबलम्। द्रोणात् कस्तं नरव्याघ्रं युयुत्सुं पर्यवारयत्॥
