O descendant of Bharata, Dhrishtadyumna rushed against Drona. In great anger Drona cut off in that battle the hard bow of the illustrious Panchala prince, the bow which was ever capable of taking the lives of the foes. He shot in that battle a fearful arrow which was like the second rod of Yama. The arrow thus shot son penetrated into the body of the prince. Taking up another bow and fourteen arrows, the son of Drupada pierced Drona with his arrows. Enraged with each other they fought on.
धृष्टद्युम्नस्ततो द्रोणमभ्यद्रवत भारत। तस्य द्रोणः सुसंक्रुद्धः परासुकरणं दृढम्॥ त्रिधा चिच्छेद समरे पाञ्चाल्यस्य तु कार्मुकम्। शरं चैव महाघोरं कालदण्डमिवापरम्॥ प्रेषयामास समरे सोऽस्य काये न्यमज्जत। अथान्यद् धनुरादाय सायकांश्च चतुर्दश॥ द्रोण द्रुपदपुत्रस्तु प्रतिविव्याध संयुगे। तावन्योन्यं सुसंक्रुद्धौ चक्रतुः सुभृशं रणम्॥
