He draws it in the Dronakalasa. Now Soma was Vritra. When the gods slew him, his head rolled off: it became the Dronakalasa. Thereinto flowed together so much of the juice as it could hold; that was in excess; and so is this graha in excess: he thus puts the excess. to the excess,--therefore he draws it in the Dronakalasa.
