He, having penetrated into the midst of the enemy hosts and ranging to every quarter, became a protector for his own, while himself needing protection in no way whatsoever. Shikhandin [he wounded] with twelve arrows, Uttamaujas with twenty, and Vasudana he sent to the realm of Yama with a bhalla-arrow. Kshatravarman [he wounded] with eighty, Sudakshina with twenty-six, and Kshatradeva he swept from the chariot platform with a bhalla-arrow. Having wounded Yudhamanyu with sixty-four arrows, and Satyaki with thirty, [the warrior] on the golden chariot at once charged at Yudhishthira.

The highest thing that can be said of a warrior is said of Drona here: 'a protector for his own, himself needing protection in no way.' He alone stands for all, seeking support in no one—such is the limit of self-sufficient might. The roll call of warriors he strikes down, one after another, displays this measure in action. And yet, beneath the admiration, the earlier bitterness persists: all this invincibility is given to an unrighteous cause, and so every name in the list is a loss to the side of dharma. It is telling that he who needs no protection himself rushes tirelessly toward the defenseless Yudhishthira. The verse teaches that to be a support to many while leaning on none is the summit of warrior strength; but that a power needing no one is the more dangerous the worse the end it serves; and that greatness deprived of a righteous direction turns into an unstoppable instrument of another's sin.
