सानुबन्धान् हनिष्यामि ये मां योत्स्यन्ति संगरे । इति तत् कुरु कौन्तेय सत्यं वाक्यमरिंदम
sānubandhān haniṣyāmi ye māṁ yotsyanti saṅgare | iti tat kuru kaunteya satyaṁ vākyam ariṁdama ||
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—“যিসকলে ৰণত মোৰ সৈতে যুঁজিব, মই তেওঁলোকক তেওঁলোকৰ অনুচৰ আৰু স্বজন-সহ বধ কৰিম।” সেয়ে, হে কৌন্তেয়, হে শত্রুদমন, তোমাৰ বাক্য সত্য কৰ।

The verse emphasizes satya (truthfulness) as fidelity to one’s spoken commitment: a warrior’s word should not be empty, and ethical integrity is measured by keeping one’s pledge even under the pressure of battle.
Sañjaya reports a fierce resolve expressed in the war context—slaying those who come to fight—then urges Kaunteya (Arjuna) to act accordingly and ensure his declared word proves true, reinforcing the seriousness of vows and declarations on the battlefield.
