The violent Drona having arranged his troops in an impenetrable array has slain the army of the enemies and many a mighty charioteer for five days together. That valiant charioteer having protected Jayadratha in battle committed a havoc amongst the hostile army during the nocturnal fight, like the fierce Destroyer himself.
द्रोणः पञ्चदिनान्युमो विधम्य रिपुवाहिनीम्॥ कृत्वा व्यूहमभेद्यं च पातयित्वा महारथान्। जयद्रथस्य समरे कृत्वा रक्षां महारथः॥ अन्तकप्रतिमश्चोग्रो रात्रियुद्धेऽदहत् प्रजाः।
