Droṇa–Sātyaki Engagement
ततः प्रदक्षिणं कृत्वा द्रोणं प्रायान्महाभुजम् । परिवृत्तश्न बीभत्सुरगच्छद् विसृजन् शरान्,तब अर्जुनने भी सच्चिदानन्दस्वरूप केशवसे कहा-- 'प्रभो! आपकी जैसी रुचि हो, वैसा कीजिये।” तत्पश्चात् अर्जुन महाबाहु द्रोणाचार्यकी परिक्रमा करके लौट पड़े और बाणोंकी वर्षा करते हुए आगे चले गये
tataḥ pradakṣiṇaṃ kṛtvā droṇaṃ prāyān mahābhujaḥ | parivṛttaś ca bībhatsur agacchad visṛjan śarān ||
তাৰ পাছত মহাবাহু অৰ্জুনে দ্ৰোণাচাৰ্যক প্ৰদক্ষিণ কৰি আগবাঢ়িল; তাৰ পিছত বীভৎসু উভতি গৈ বাণ নিক্ষেপ কৰি কৰি আগলৈ গ’ল।

Educational Q&A
Even in the harshness of war, dharma includes gratitude and reverence toward one’s teacher; Arjuna balances respect (pradakṣiṇā to Droṇa) with his kṣatriya obligation to continue fighting.
Sañjaya narrates that Arjuna circumambulates Droṇa respectfully and then withdraws, turning and advancing while shooting arrows—signaling both deference to his guru and continued engagement in the battle.
