Śaineya–Bhūriśravas: Genealogy, Svayaṃvara Contest, and the Maheśvara Boon
चकार सात्यकी राजन् सूतकर्मातिमानुषम् । अयोधयच्च यद् द्रोणं रश्मीन् जग्राह च स्वयम्,महाराज! उस समय सात्यकिने लोकोत्तर सारथ्य कर्म कर दिखाया। वे द्रोणाचार्यसे युद्ध भी करते रहे और स्वयं ही घोड़ोंकी बागडोर भी सँभाले रहे
cakāra sātyaki rājan sūtakarmātimānuṣam | ayodhayac ca yad droṇaṁ raśmīn jagrāha ca svayam, mahārāja |
Sañjaya said: O King, Sātyaki performed a charioteer’s feat beyond ordinary human skill. Even as he fought Droṇācārya in battle, he himself held and controlled the reins, O great king. The verse highlights extraordinary presence of mind and disciplined duty amid chaos—martial excellence joined with responsible control rather than reckless fury.
