वर्तमाने तथा रौद्रे रात्रियुद्धे विशां पते ॥
सर्वभूतक्षयकरे धर्मपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः ॥
अब्रवीत् पाण्डवांश् चैव पाञ्चालांश् च ससोमकान् ॥
अभ्यद्रवत गच्छध्वं द्रोणम् एव जिघांसया ॥
राज्ञस् ते वचनाद् राजन् पाञ्चालाः सोमकास् तथा ॥
द्रोणम् एवाभ्यवर्तन्त नदन्तो भैरवान् रवान् ॥
तान् वयं प्रतिगर्जन्तः प्रत्युद्यातास् त्व् अमर्षिताः ॥
यथाशक्ति यथोत्साहं यथासत्त्वं च संयुगे ॥

When so continued the fierce night battle, O lord of peoples, destroying all beings, the son of Dharma Yudhishthira spoke to the Pandavas and to the Panchalas with the Somakas: "Rush forth, go against Drona himself, with a thirst to slay him." At the word of that king, O king, the Panchalas and Somakas rushed at Drona, raising fearsome cries. We, roaring back at them, went out to meet them, indignant — each according to his strength, his zeal, and his might in the clash.

Yudhishthira throws all his strength against a single man — Drona: the outcome of the night is staked on the teacher's life. It is telling that both sides fight "according to strength, according to zeal, according to might" — each giving exactly what he possesses. The verse teaches that in a shared cause a person is asked for no more than his measure, but no less either: each one's contribution is by his gift; and a warrior's dignity lies not in exceeding what was given him, but in giving all he has, holding nothing back.
