कच्चिन्नापानुदद्द्रोणादिषुभिर्वो धनंजयः ।

20. kaccit na apānudat droṇa-ādi-iṣubhiḥ
vaḥ dhanañjayaḥ vātaḥ meghān iva āvidhyan

kaḥ hi naraḥ raṇe gāṇḍīvadhanvānam soḍhum arhati
20. Surely Dhanañjaya did not drive away your arrows, which were like those of Droṇa, just as a wind (resembling an arrow-forest) scatters clouds as it blows? Indeed, what man can endure one wielding the Gaṇḍīva bow in battle?
