The dart, cut with three arrows by Drona in the great battle, and the spear he severed at once, dexterous of hand, the mighty one. Then the valiant son of Bharadvaja loosed in battle a sharp arrow for the slaying of him who longed for death; it, piercing his armor and the heart of him of boundless might, went into the earth, like a swan into a lotus pond. As a famished blue jay swallows a moth, O king, so Drona, the hero, devoured Dhrishtaketu in the great battle.

Drona "agrasat" — devours Dhrishtaketu like a famished blue jay a moth: the fearsome teacher, akin to death itself, draws warriors into himself. It is telling that the moth which flew into the fire (v. 25) is now consumed like a moth. The verse teaches that one who dares the unconquerable perishes as one who flies into flame: the image closes its circle — he who charged "like a moth" is devoured "like a moth," for unreasoning daring itself draws its bearer into the devouring jaws of ruin.
