Those two armies, like oceans stirred up by the wind, with creatures in turmoil, met at the edge of night, like two terrible seas. Then Drona, O great king, was pierced in the heart by the man of Panchala [Dhrishtadyumna] with five arrows, swiftly, and he let out a lion's roar. Drona, having pierced him with twenty-five arrows in the clash, O Bharata, cut his brightly gleaming bow with another broad-headed shaft. Dhrishtadyumna, pierced by Drona, O bull among the Bharatas, quickly cast aside his bow, biting his lip.

The two armies meet "like two seas stirred up by the wind": the battle is likened to blind elemental force. It is telling that Dhrishtadyumna, deprived of his bow, "bites his lip" — the helpless fury of one thwarted in his cherished task. The verse teaches that even one set upon an appointed goal meets obstacles and setbacks; the path to what is foreordained is not smooth, and one destined to accomplish something great passes through humiliation and helpless anger before his hour arrives.
