THE LIVING ARCHIVE
About Savitrastra
The exchange begins because Yudhishthira is breaking the opposing ranks and inflicting heavy losses. Drona intervenes at Duryodhana’s urging, first covering him with arrows and then using a wind-associated weapon. When Yudhishthira defeats that attack, Drona turns to a wider range of celestial weapons.
