Drona: "If well trained, fallen Brahmins,
not content with their own calling, would
not take to fighting, Kshatriyas would not
perish. (The wise) consider (the virtue of)
non-injury towards all beings the greater
Dharma; and of it, the Brahmin is the
foundation; and you
the greatest among
those who have known the Brahman; having
killed many, following what is another's
prescribed vocation, how is it you are
not ashamed?'
एवमुक्तस्ततो द्रोणः सन्न्यासाय स वै द्विजः ।
उत्सृज्य च रणे शस्त्रं रथोपस्थे निविश्य च ।
अभयं सर्वभूतानां प्रददौ योगमीयिवान् ॥
Then, the Brahmin, Drona, who was
told in this manner, threw away all
told in this manner, threw away all
arms, sat in the centre of his chariot
for laying down his body, vowed
security to all beings and entered
Yoga.
