So also, O Sanjaya, by Dhristadyumna, the son of Drupada, lifting up his sword, was slain that mighty bowman Drona, practising severe asceticisin, who, being already pierced by innumerable weapons had put aside all his weapons in battle. I have, indeed, heard of this, viz. that these two, Bhishma and Drona, were slain at a disadvantage and especially by means of a stratagem.
तथा द्रौपदिना द्रोणो न्यस्यसर्वायुधो युधि। युक्तयोगो महेष्वासः शरैर्बहुभिराचितः॥ निहतः खङ्गमुद्यम्य धृष्टद्युम्नेन संजय। अन्तरेण हतावेतौ छलेन च विशेषतः॥
