Even amid the harshness of war, righteous resolve depends on morale and trustworthy allies; the verse highlights how exemplary valor (Sātyaki’s) strengthens the spirits of leaders and comrades, sustaining their commitment to the cause.
Sañjaya reports that Sātyaki’s successful feats against formidable opponents repeatedly bring joy to him and encourage the Pāṇḍava side—especially Nakula, Sahadeva, Bhīma, and King Yudhiṣṭhira—by restoring confidence on the battlefield.
