Daiva–Puruṣakāra Discourse and the Elephant-Corps Engagement (भीमगजानीक-सम्भ्रान्ति)
तौ दूरात् सात्यकिं दृष्टवा धृष्टद्युम्नवृकोदरौ । कलिड्डान् समरे वीरौ योधयेतां मनस्विनौ
tau dūrāt sātyakiṁ dṛṣṭvā dhṛṣṭadyumnavṛkodarau | kaliṅgān samare vīrau yodhayetāṁ manasvinau ||
সঞ্জয়ে ক’লে—ৰণক্ষেত্ৰত মনস্বী বীৰ ধৃষ্টদ্যুম্ন আৰু বৃকোদৰে দূৰৰ পৰা সাত্যকিক আহি থকা দেখিলে; তাতে উৎসাহ বাঢ়ি তেওঁলোকে কলিঙ্গসকলৰ সৈতে অধিক তীব্ৰভাৱে যুদ্ধ কৰিবলৈ ধৰিলে।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how the arrival of a trusted ally strengthens resolve and righteous effort in a difficult duty: courage and perseverance in battle are sustained not only by personal strength but also by solidarity and timely support.
Sañjaya reports that Dhṛṣṭadyumna and Bhīma see Sātyaki coming from a distance; encouraged by his approach, they intensify their fighting against the Kaliṅga contingent on the battlefield.
