"Those arrows, loosed by Drona, the son of Pandu, righteous in soul, warded off with a shower of arrows, displaying the swiftness of his hand. Then Drona, greatly enraged at the King of Dharma in the battle, suddenly cut asunder the bow of that great-souled one. And him, his bow now cut, the great warrior, hastening, covered from every side with many thousands of arrows."

Even "dharmātmā," the righteous in soul, shows for a moment "pāṇilāghavam," the skill of the hand, yet Drona's mastery prevails, and the king's bow is cut asunder. It is telling that righteousness does not shield one from defeat in skill: virtue is not the same as superiority in combat. The verse teaches that purity of heart does not annul the laws of mastery; the righteous man may be surpassed by the more skillful, and then what is tested is not his ability but his steadfastness within the calamity itself.
