Seeing the spear raised by the King of Dharma in battle, all beings suddenly cried, 'Blessing upon Drona!' Hurled from the king's hand, resembling a snake that has sloughed its skin, it lit up the sky, the directions, and the intermediate quarters. Beholding it hurtling toward him, O lord of peoples, Drona, foremost among knowers of weapons, then manifested the weapon of Brahma.

The cry 'svasti droṇāya' — 'blessing upon Drona!' — reveals whom the beings pity: the teacher is loved even in the enemy's camp, and feared for. The king's spear, 'nirmuktoragasaṃnibhā,' like a snake that has cast its skin, threatens the very preceptor. It is telling that war places the revered under the blow of the righteous, and compassion knows no side. The verse teaches that war turns love into grief: even those who see the truth on the Pandavas' side pray for Drona's deliverance, for a man's worth wins love that outlasts enmity.
