Then, gripped by wrath, the son of Bhīmasena, fearsome, struck Drauṇi with fearsome arrows roaring like the thunderbolt — razor-headed and crescent-headed, iron-tipped and barbed, boar-eared, tubular, and sharp earless ones. That incomparable rain of weapons, roaring like the thunderbolt, falling from above — that unbearable rain of fearsome arrows consecrated with the spells of divine weapons — enraged Drauṇi, unshaken in spirit, the radiant one, dispersed, as the wind scatters masses of clouds.

Drauṇi's steadiness is the essence of his strength: under the rain of arrows he remains "unshaken in spirit" and disperses them as the wind scatters clouds. It is telling that a storm is met not by a greater storm, but by calm. The verse teaches that firmness of spirit outweighs fury: an inflamed onslaught is answered not by matching frenzy but by gathered composure, in which the hand does not tremble; and whoever keeps a clear mind amid the din disperses his enemy's tempest as the wind drives away the clouds.
