قال سنجيا: «امتطَوا خيولًا ممتازة—قويةً، في عنفوان الشباب، كان صدمُها كهبّة الريح عسيرَ الاحتمال، وكانت سرعتُها تُضاهي الريح—فاندفع ستةُ أبطالٍ أشدّاء خارجَ جيشهم العظيم.»

The verse highlights the disciplined deployment of strength and speed in war: power must be organized and directed. Implicitly, it also reminds the listener that martial excellence accelerates the unfolding of fate and responsibility on the battlefield.
Sañjaya describes warriors mounting superb, wind-swift horses and riding out from the larger army formation, signaling an active maneuver—an advance or sortie—within the broader battle sequence.
