And Dhrishtaketu, bull of the Chedis, exalted by his great strength, suddenly fell upon Drona like a moth upon fire. He then pierced Drona with sixty arrows — striking his horses, chariot, and banner — and again with other sharp arrows, as one pricking a sleeping tiger. Drona then cut through the bow, at its middle, of that mighty king who strove in battle, with a keen razor-headed arrow.

Dhrishtaketu charges "pataṃga iva pāvakam" — like a moth upon fire — and pricks Drona, "suptaṃ vyāghraṃ tudann iva" — as one goading a sleeping tiger: a boldness that wakes a storm. It is telling that to challenge the most formidable is to fly toward one's own destruction. The verse teaches that reckless daring before the unconquerable is fatal: he who disturbs a sleeping tiger wakes his own death, and the moth drawn by the flame is consumed — such is the fate of courage without measure.
