काल्यमानेषु सैन्येषु शैनेयेन ततस्ततः ।
भारद्वाजः शरव्रातैर्मर्मभिद्भिरवाकिरत् ॥ ७.११७.१ ॥
While the troops were being slaughtered by Śaineya, again and again, Droṇa, son of Bharadvāja, showered him with volleys of vital-piercing arrows.
7.117.2
स सम्प्रहारस्तुमुलो द्रोणसात्वतयोरभूत् ।
पश्यतां सर्वसैन्यानां बलिवासवयोरिव ॥ ७.११७.२ ॥
That fierce clash arose between Droṇa and Sātvata (Sātyaki), like the battle of Bali and Vāsava, while all the armies looked on.
7.117.3
ततो द्रोणः शिनेः पौत्रं चित्रैः सर्वायसैः शरैः ।
त्रिभिराशीविपाकारैर्ललाटे समविध्यत ॥ ७.११७.३ ॥
Then Droṇa pierced the grandson of Śini on the forehead with three variegated arrows, all of iron, like venomous snakes.

व्यरोचत महाराज त्रिशृङ्ग इव पर्वतः ॥ ७.११७.४ ॥
By those straight-flying arrows fixed in his forehead, Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki) shone, O great king, like a three-peaked mountain.
7.117.5
ततोऽस्य बाणानपरानिन्द्राशनिसमस्वनान् ।
भारद्वाजोऽन्तरप्रेक्षी प्रेषयामास संयुगे ॥ ७.११७.५ ॥

7.117.6
तान्द्रोणचापनिर्मुक्तान्दाशार्हः पततः शरान् ।
द्वाभ्यांद्वाभ्यां सुपुङ्खाभ्यां चिच्छेद परमास्त्रवित् ॥ ७.११७.६ ॥
The Dāśārha (Sātyaki), knower of the supreme weapons, cut down those arrows released from Droṇa's bow as they flew, two at a time, with well-feathered shafts.
7.117.7
तामस्य लघुतां द्रोणः समवेक्ष्य विशाम्पते ।
प्रहस्य सहसाऽविध्यत्त्रिंशतां शिनिपुङ्गवम् ॥ ७.११७.७ ॥
O lord of men, Droṇa, seeing his swiftness, laughing, suddenly pierced the best of the Śinis with thirty arrows.
7.117.8
पुनः पञ्चशतेषूणां शितेन च समार्पयत् ।
लघुतां युयुधानस्य लाघवेन विशेषयन् ॥ ७.११७.८ ॥
Again he struck back with five hundred sharp arrows, surpassing Yuyudhāna's swiftness by his skill.
7.117.9
समुत्पतन्ति वल्मीकाद्यथा क्रुद्धा महोरगाः ।
तथा द्रोणरथाद्राजन्नापतन्ति तनुच्छिदः ॥ ७.११७.९ ॥
As enraged great serpents rise up from an anthill, so, O king, from Droṇa's chariot body-piercing arrows fell.
7.117.10
तथैव युयुधानेन सृष्टाः सतसहस्रशः ।
अवाकिरन्द्रोणरथं शरा रुधिरभोजनाः ॥ ७.११७.१० ॥
Likewise, hundreds of thousands of blood-drinking arrows released by Yuyudhāna showered Droṇa's chariot.
7.117.11
लाघवाद्दिजमुख्यस्य सात्वतस्य च मारिष ।
विशेषं नाध्यगच्छाम समावास्तां नरर्षभौ ॥ ७.११७.११ ॥
O sir, in the skill of that foremost of Brahmins and of the Sātvata we perceived no difference; the two bulls among men were equal.
7.117.12
सात्यकिस्तु ततो द्रोणं नवभिर्नतपर्वभिः ।
आजघान भृशं क्रुद्धो ध्वजं च निशितैः शरैः ॥ ७.११७.१२ ॥
Then Sātyaki, enraged, struck Droṇa fiercely with nine bent-jointed arrows, and struck his banner with sharp arrows.

ध्वजमेकेन चिच्छेद माधवस्य रथे स्थितम् ॥ ७.११७.१४ ॥
Piercing the charioteer with seventy arrows and each of the horses with three, he cut down with one arrow the banner standing on Mādhava's chariot.

अथापरेण भल्लेन हेमपुङ्खेन पत्रिणा ।
धनुश्चिच्छेद समरे माधवस्य महात्मनः ॥ ७.११७.१५ ॥
Then, with another bhalla arrow with golden feathers, he cut through the bow of the great-souled Mādhava in battle.
7.117.16
सात्यकिस्तु ततः क्रुद्धो धनुस्त्यक्त्वा महारथः ।
गदां जग्राह महतीं भारद्वाजाय चाक्षिपत् ॥ ७.११७.१६ ॥
Then Sātyaki, the great charioteer, enraged, cast aside his bow, seized a huge mace and hurled it at the son of Bharadvāja.

Then Sātyaki of true valour, taking up another bow, pierced the hero, the son of Bharadvāja, with many arrows whetted on stone.

स विद्वा समरे द्रोणं सिंहनादममुञ्चत ।
तं वै न मृमषे द्रोणः सिंहनादं महात्मनः ॥ ७.११७.१९ ॥
Having pierced Droṇa in battle, he let out a lion's roar. Droṇa could not endure that roar of the great-souled one.
7.117.20
ततः शक्तिं रणे द्रोणो रुक्मदण्डामयस्मयीम् ।
तरसा प्रेषयामास माधवस्य रथं प्रति ॥ ७.११७.२० ॥
Then in battle Droṇa swiftly hurled a spear of iron with a golden shaft toward Mādhava's chariot.
7.117.21
अनासाद्य तु शैनेयं सा शक्तिः कालसन्निभा ।
भित्त्वा रथं जगामोग्ना धरणीं दारुणस्वना ॥ ७.११७.२१ ॥
That spear, like Death itself, did not reach Śainya's descendant; piercing the chariot, it went fiercely into the earth with a dreadful sound.
7.117.22
ततो द्रोणं शिनेः पौत्रो राजन्विव्याध पत्रिणा ।
दक्षिणं भुजमासाद्य पीडयन्भरतर्षभ ॥ ७.११७.२२ ॥
Then, O king, Śini's grandson pierced Droṇa with an arrow; striking his right arm, he afflicted him, O bull of the Bharatas.
7.117.23
द्रोणोऽपि समरे राजन्माधवस्य महद्धनुः ।
अर्धचन्द्रेण चिच्छेद रथशक्त्या च सारथिम् ॥ ७.११७.२३ ॥
Then Droṇa too, O king, cut through Mādhava's great bow with a crescent arrow, and with his chariot-spear struck down the charioteer.
7.117.24
मुमोह सारथिस्तस्य रथशक्त्या समाहतः ।
स रथोपस्थमासाद्य मुहूर्तं सन्न्यषीदत ॥ ७.११७.२४ ॥
His charioteer, struck by the chariot-spear, swooned; reaching the floor of the chariot, he sank down for a moment.
7.117.25
चकार सात्यकी राजंस्तत्र कर्मातिमानुषम् ।
अयोधयच्च यद्द्रोणं रश्मीञ्जग्राह च स्वयम् ॥ ७.११७.२५ ॥
O king, there Sātyaki performed a superhuman deed: he fought with Droṇa and seized his reins himself.
7.117.26
ततः शरशतेनैव युयुधानो महारथः ।
अविध्यद्ब्राह्मणं सङ्ख्ये हृष्टरूपो विशाम्पते ॥ ७.११७.२६ ॥
Then the great charioteer Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki), with a hundred arrows, pierced the Brahmin (Droṇa) in battle; his appearance was joyful, O lord of the people.
7.117.27
तस्य द्रोणः शरान्पञ्च प्रेषयामास भारत ।
ते घोराः कवचं भित्त्वा पपुः शोणितमाहवे ॥ ७.११७.२७ ॥
At him Droṇa sent five arrows, O Bhārata; those terrible shafts, piercing the armour, drank blood in the battle.
7.117.28
निर्विद्धस्तु शरैर्घोरैरक्रुद्ध्यत्सात्यकिर्भृशम् ।
सायकान्व्यसृजच्चापि वीरो रुक्मरथं प्रति ॥ ७.११७.२८ ॥
Pierced by the terrible arrows, Sātyaki grew very angry, and that hero discharged arrows against the golden chariot, against Droṇa.
7.117.29
ततो द्रोणस्य यन्तारं निपात्यैकेषुणा भुवि ।
अश्वान्व्यद्रावयद्बाणैर्हतसूतांस्ततस्ततः ॥ ७.११७.२९ ॥
Then, with a single arrow he felled Droṇa's charioteer to the ground, and with arrows he scattered the horses here and there, their driver slain.
7.117.30
स रथः प्रद्रुतः सङ्ख्ये मण्डलानि सहस्रशः ।
चकार राजतो राजन्भ्राजमान इवांशुमान् ॥ ७.११७.३० ॥
That chariot, fleeing in battle, made thousands of circles, O king, gleaming like the shining sun.
7.117.31
अभिद्रवत गृह्णीत हयान्द्रोणस्य धावत ।
इति स्म चुक्रुशुः सर्वे राजपुत्राः सराजकाः ॥ ७.११७.३१ ॥
"Charge at Droṇa's horses, seize them, run!" Thus all the princes, together with the kings, cried out.

यतो द्रोणस्ततः सर्वे सहसा समुपाद्रवन् ॥ ७.११७.३२ ॥
O king, those great charioteers, quickly leaving Sātyaki behind in battle, all suddenly rushed together to where Droṇa was.
7.117.33
तान्दृष्ट्वा प्रद्रुतान्सङ्ख्ये सात्वतेन शरार्दितान् ।
प्रभग्नं पुनरेवासीत्तव सैन्यं समाकुलम् ॥ ७.११७.३३ ॥
Seeing them fleeing in battle, tormented by the arrows of the Sātvata (Sātyaki), your army was once again broken and thrown into confusion.
7.117.34
व्यूहस्यैव पुनर्द्वारं गत्वा द्रोणो व्यवस्थितः ।
वातायमानैस्तैरश्वैर्नीतो वृष्णिशरार्दितैः ॥ ७.११७.३४ ॥
Going back to the gate of the array, Droṇa took his stand; carried there by those horses, swift as the wind and tormented by the arrows of the Vṛṣṇi (Sātyaki).
7.117.35
पाण्डुपाञ्चालसम्भिन्नं व्यूहमालोक्य वीर्यवान् ।
शैनेये नाकरोद्यत्नं व्यूहमेवाभ्यरक्षत ॥ ७.११७.३५ ॥
Seeing the array broken by the Pāṇḍavas and the Pañcālas, the valiant Droṇa made no effort against Śaineya (Sātyaki), but only protected the array.
7.117.36
निवार्य पाण्डुपाञ्चालान्द्रोणाग्निः प्रदहन्निव ।
तस्थौ क्रोधेध्मसन्दीप्तः कालसूर्य इवोद्यतः ॥ ७.११७.३६ ॥
Checking the Pāṇḍavas and the Pañcālas, Droṇa stood like a burning fire, blazing with the fuel of wrath, like the sun of death risen up.
