संजय उवाच
तथा तस्मिन् प्रवृत्ते तु संग्रामे लोमहर्षणे ॥
कौरवेयांस् त्रिधाभूतान् पाण्डवाः समुपाद्रवन् ॥
जलसंधं महाबाहुर् भीमसेनो न्यवारयत् ॥
युधिष्ठिरः सहानीकः कृतवर्माणम् आहवे ॥
किरन्तं शरवर्षाणि रोचमान इवांशुमान् ॥
धृष्टद्युम्नो महाराज द्रोणम् अभ्यद्रवद् रणे ॥
saṃjaya uvāca
tathā tasmin pravṛtte tu saṃgrāme lomaharṣaṇe ||
kauraveyāṃs tridhābhūtān pāṇḍavāḥ samupādravan ||
jalasaṃdhaṃ mahābāhur bhīmaseno nyavārayat ||
yudhiṣṭhiraḥ sahānīkaḥ kṛtavarmāṇam āhave ||
kirantaṃ śaravarṣāṇi rocamāna ivāṃśumān ||
dhṛṣṭadyumno mahārāja droṇam abhyadravad raṇe ||
When the battle, hair-raising, thus began, the Pandavas rushed at the Kauravas, split into three. Jalasandha the mighty-armed Bhimasena held back; Yudhishthira with his army [held back] Kritavarman in battle. Scattering showers of arrows, shining like the radiant sun, Dhrishtadyumna, O great king, rushed at Drona in battle.

Dhrishtadyumna, 'rocamānaḥ iva aṃśumān,' shining like the sun, advances on Drona -- one born for his death moves toward his destiny. It is significant that each Pandava takes on his own opponent, while the leader of the Pandavas takes on Drona himself. The verse teaches that at the climax each rushes toward what is appointed for him: fate leads the predestined to his task; and Dhrishtadyumna, shining as he meets his teacher-enemy, moves not by willfulness but in fulfillment of that for which he was born.
