Having struck Shikhandin with twelve arrows, Uttamaujas with twenty, Nakula with five, Sahadeva with seven, Yudhishthira with twelve, each of the Draupadeyas with three, Satyaki with five, and Matsya [Virata] with ten arrows, he threw into confusion all the leading warriors of the battle, charging upon them, and pressed on, seeking to reach the son of Kunti, Yudhishthira.

Drona strikes down the foremost warriors one after another, yet his goal remains unchanging — Yudhishthira: all his skill is bent toward fulfilling the word he gave Duryodhana. Thus even the greatest valor, bound by an unrighteous vow, becomes the instrument of another's self-serving design. The roll-call of the heroes struck down shows how many stand shielding the king of dharma. The verse teaches that might subordinated to an evil purpose is unswerving in pursuing it; that a vow given to the unrighteous turns valor into the servant of self-interest; and that in the hour of danger many rise up around the righteous man, for his protection is the protection of truth itself.
