But the virtuous-souled son of Drona, possessed of excellent prowess, continued to fight with the heroic son of Bhimasena and Dhristadyumna together with his younger brothers; there the son of Drona achieved the most marvellous exploit.
षड्भिर्वाजिसहस्रश्च भीमस्तं देशमागमत्॥ ततो भीमात्मजं रक्षो धृष्टद्युम्नं च सानुगम्। अयोधयत धर्मात्मा द्रौणिरक्लिष्टविक्रमः॥ तत्राद्भुततमं द्रौणिर्दर्शयामास विक्रमम्।
