When the Panchalas were being slain in battle by the great-souled one, when Drona's weapon rose up, fear entered the Pandavas. Seeing the vast destruction of hosts of horses and men in battle, the Pandavas, O great king, no longer hoped for victory then, [thinking]: "Will Drona not destroy all of us, the knower of the highest weapon, kindled at winter's end like a fire burning dry thicket? No one in the clash is able even to look upon him, and even Arjuna, the knower of dharma, would never fight him directly."

Even the Pandavas fall into fear and doubt: Drona, "like fire in dry thicket," threatens to destroy them all. It is telling that even Arjuna "would not fight" him directly -- reverence for the teacher binds the hand. The verse teaches that fear overtakes even the greatest before the unconquerable; and the bonds of reverence for a teacher make him doubly unassailable -- for a disciple cannot raise his hand against his teacher without an inward breaking.
