घटोत्कचे तु निहते सूतपुत्रेण तां निशाम् ॥
दुःखामर्षवशं प्राप्तो धर्मपुत्रो युधिष्ठिरः ॥
दृष्ट्व भीमेन महतीं वार्यमाणां चमूं तव ॥
धृष्टद्युम्नम् उवाचेदं कुम्भयोनिं निवारय ॥

अभिद्रव रणे हृष्टो न च ते भीः कथं चन ॥

When Ghatotkacha was slain by the son of the suta that night, the son of Dharma, Yudhishthira, falling into the grip of grief and wrath, seeing how your great army was being held in check by Bhima, spoke thus to Dhrishtadyumna: ‘Restrain the pot-born [Drona]. For you were born from the sacrificial fire for the destruction of Drona, with arrows, in armor, with sword and bow, scorcher of foes; attack in battle, exultant, and let there be no fear in you whatsoever. Janamejaya and Shikhandin, and Daurmukhi, rich in glory...’

Yudhishthira reminds Dhrishtadyumna of his destiny: born of fire for the destruction of Drona. It is significant that in an hour of grief the king turns not to consolation but to destiny — to each his appointed task. The verse teaches that in a time of trial one must remember why one was born; and one who recognizes his purpose goes to meet it without fear — for what is foretold carries within it the strength to accomplish it.
