The warriors beheld the valor of those two, astonished. Between those two, Drona and the Pandava, a great battle arose over the prize, O great king, like two hawks in the sky. Whatever Drona did, longing to vanquish the son of Kunti, the Pandava swiftly countered it, smiling. When Drona could not surpass the Pandava, then, versed in the ways of weapons, he displayed his weapons: the Aindra, the Pashupata, the Tvashtra, the Vayavya, and then the Varuna.

Drona and Arjuna fight 'like two hawks over prey': teacher and pupil, equal in skill, each seeking the advantage. It is telling that Arjuna counters every move of his master 'smiling' -- the pupil has become the teacher's equal. The verse teaches that in this lies both the master's triumph and his sorrow: his pupil has reached his own height; and a duel between a teacher and the pupil who has equaled him is a spectacle in which pride and grief blend inseparably.
