What car-warriors felled in battle Drona of fierce deeds, that foremost of bowmen, that foremost commanders who was like Shakra himself in heaven?

स सत्यसंघो बलवान् द्रोणः किमकरोद् युधि। दिवि शक्रमिव श्रेष्ठं महामात्रं धनुर्भृताम्॥ के नु तं रौद्रकर्माणं युद्धे प्रत्युद्ययू रथाः। ननु रुक्मरथं दृष्ट्वा प्राद्रवन्ति स्म पाण्डवाः॥
