Neither Drona with his army nor Kritavarman in battle are able to reach me, nor will they overpower me. And Dhrishtadyumna, scorcher of foes, will hold back the enraged Drona in battle, charging forward as the shore holds back the ocean. Wherever the son of Prishata, slayer of enemy champions, takes his stand in the fight, there Drona's mighty army will never advance.

Dhrishtadyumna will hold Drona back, "velā iva makarālayam", as the shore holds back the ocean: calm firmness withstands fury. It is telling that even the fiercest onslaught has a limit set for it — a shore that does not yield. The verse teaches that fury is met not by matching fury but by unshakable steadfastness: as the shore takes the ocean's blows and stays in place, so the one firm in spirit checks an enemy's storm not through ferocity but through immovability.
