Shloka 11
द्रोणपर्व — अध्याय 128: दुर्योधनस्य परसेनाप्रवेशः
Duryodhana’s Incursion and the Tumult of Battle
सात्यकिश्न हि विज्ञेय: पाण्डवश्न धनंजय: । सात्यकिं प्रेषयित्वा तु पाण्डवस्य पदानुगम्
sātyakiś ca hi vijñeyaḥ pāṇḍavaś ca dhanañjayaḥ | sātyakiṃ preṣayitvā tu pāṇḍavasya padānugam ||
قال سنجيا: اعلم أن ساتيَكي هناك حقًّا، وكذلك الباندَفي دهننْجَيا (أرجونا). وبعد أن بعث أرجونا ساتيَكي، مضى يتبع أثره—مُلاحقًا حليفه بإخلاص وسط زحام الحرب وضغطها.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined coordination in righteous struggle: a leader assigns a capable ally and then follows through, showing responsibility, loyalty, and strategic clarity rather than acting impulsively.
Sañjaya informs Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Sātyaki and Arjuna are present; Arjuna sends Sātyaki ahead on a task and then proceeds after him, following his track in the unfolding battle.
