‘Nakula and Sahadeva, the Draupadeyas, the Prabhadrakas, and Drupada, and Virata with their sons and brothers, Satyaki and the Kekayas, and the Pandava Dhananjaya — let them rush headlong, eager to slay Bharadvaja's son [Drona]. Likewise all the charioteers, elephants and horses, however many there are, and the foot soldiers in battle — let them advance upon Drona, the great warrior.’ Thus commanded by the great-souled Pandava, all of them rushed headlong upon the pot-born, eager for battle.

Yudhishthira hurls all his forces at Drona at once: warriors, elephants, and foot soldiers alike — the whole army driven toward a single goal. It is significant that after long separate skirmishes he gathers everything into one thrust. The verse teaches that in a decisive hour one must concentrate one's forces on what matters most, without scattering them; and a unified, single-directed assault of an entire army upon the enemy's center is the wisdom of a commander seeking a turning point.
