The Exploits of Śaineya/Sātyaki amid Encirclement
अथापरे च राजान: परिवृत्य समन्ततः । महाबला रणे शूरा: पञ्चालानन्ववारयन्,इसी प्रकार दूसरे महाबली शूरवीर नरेश भी उस युद्धस्थलमें सब ओरसे लौटकर पांचालोंका ही प्रतिरोध करने लगे
athāpare ca rājānaḥ parivṛtya samantataḥ | mahābalā raṇe śūrāḥ pañcālān anvavārayan |
Sañjaya sprach: Da wandten sich auch andere Könige—mächtig und heldenhaft im Kampf—von allen Seiten her um und begannen, die Pañcālas aufzuhalten, sie einzukreisen und ihren Vormarsch zu brechen.

The verse highlights a wartime ethic of disciplined coordination: valor is not merely individual bravery but also tactical maneuver—turning, surrounding, and restraining the enemy in service of one’s side and duty as a warrior-leader.
Sañjaya reports that additional kings, powerful and battle-hardened, turn back and form resistance on all sides, focusing their effort on stopping the Pañcālas and preventing their advance.
