द्रोणपर्व — अध्याय 128: दुर्योधनस्य परसेनाप्रवेशः
Duryodhana’s Incursion and the Tumult of Battle
अवश्यं तु मया कार्यमात्मन: शोकनाशनम् | तस्माद् भीम॑ नियोक्ष्यामि सात्वतस्य पदानुगम्,“तथापि मुझे अपने मानसिक दुःखको निवारण करनेके लिये ऐसी व्यवस्था अवश्य करनी चाहिये। इसलिये मैं भीमसेनको सात्यकिके मार्गका अनुगामी अवश्य बनाऊँगा
avaśyaṃ tu mayā kāryam ātmanaḥ śokanāśanam | tasmād bhīma niyokṣyāmi sātvatasyā padānugam ||
قال سانجيا: «ومع ذلك فلا بدّ لي أن أفعل ما يمحو الحزن من نفسي. لذلك سأُكلّف بهيما أن يتبع خطى الساتفاتا (ساتياكي)، فيسير على ذلك الطريق بعينه.»

Educational Q&A
Even amid battlefield turmoil, one should act with deliberate resolve to overcome inner grief; purposeful action and disciplined following of a proven path are presented as a means to restore steadiness of mind.
Sañjaya reports a decision: to counter his own sorrow, he will direct Bhīma to proceed in accordance with Sātyaki’s course—i.e., to align Bhīma’s movement/effort with Sātyaki’s established advance and strategy.
