द्रोणपर्व — अध्याय 128: दुर्योधनस्य परसेनाप्रवेशः
Duryodhana’s Incursion and the Tumult of Battle
परित्यजति वार्ष्णेयं सात्यकिं सत्यविक्रमम् । “सब लोग यही कहेंगे कि धर्मपुत्र युधिष्ठिर अपने भाईकी खोज करके वृष्णिवंशी वीर सत्यपराक्रमी सात्यकिकी उपेक्षा कर रहे हैं
parityajati vārṣṇeyaṃ sātyakiṃ satyavikramam |
قال سانجيا: «(سيقول الناس إن) دارمابوترا يودهيشثيرا، وهو يبحث عن أخيه، يُهمل ساتياكي—بطلَ آل فْرِشْني ذي البأس المجرَّب الذي لا يَفتر.»

Educational Q&A
Even in urgent personal duties (such as seeking a brother), a leader must not disregard steadfast allies; dharma includes honoring reliable support, maintaining trust, and safeguarding one’s reputation for fairness and gratitude.
Sañjaya reports a judgment that people will make: that Yudhiṣṭhira, preoccupied with finding his brother, is effectively overlooking Sātyaki, the Vṛṣṇi warrior renowned for proven valor—underscoring the strain of battlefield priorities and public perception.
