Thus Drona and Arjuna fought wondrously, great warriors, teacher and pupil, O lord of kings, both skilled in the strikes of battle. With swift nocking of arrows, with the maneuvering of chariots, and with their combat, they bewitched the eyes and minds of all who watched. All of them ceased fighting -- our warriors and the enemy's alike -- beholding this never-before-seen battle of teacher and pupil. Amid the host, raising wondrous paths for their chariots, the two heroes strove to outflank one another from the left.

The battle of teacher and pupil is so wondrous that both armies stop fighting, 'bewitched': the beauty of mastery overcomes enmity. It is telling that enemies together marvel at one and the same art. The verse teaches that perfection reconciles even opponents: before true mastery, strife falls silent, and warring sides become for a moment a single, awestruck audience; for the beauty of supreme skill belongs to everyone and stands above every side.
