Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 94: Sātyaki–Sudarśana Yuddha (सात्यकि–सुदर्शन युद्ध)
अनीकान्यर्दयन् युद्धे त्वरित: श्वेतवाहन:
anīkāny ardayan yuddhe tvaritaḥ śvetavāhanaḥ
قال سنجيا: في غمرة القتال كان المحارب ذو الجياد البيضاء يضغط على تشكيلات العدو بسرعةٍ عاجلة، فيسحقها ويدفعها إلى الوراء اندفاعًا لا يلين—صورةٌ لزخمٍ حربيٍّ لا يهدأ تحت الثقل الأخلاقي لحربٍ بين ذوي القربى.
