Sanskrit Text

ततः प्रादुष्करोद्द्रोणो ब्राह्ममस्त्रं परंतपः वधाय तेषां शूराणां पाञ्चालानाममर्षितः

English Translation

Then blowing off all those arrows of the Panchalas and with a view to effect the death of these heroic Panchala warriors, the mighty car-warrior Drona, the afflicter of hostile troops, invoked into existence a Brahma weapon. At this time he looked resplendent like a blazing fire without a streak of smoke.
