यच्छिक्षयानुद्धत: सन् रणे चरति सात्यकि: । महारथानुपक्रीडन् वृष्णीनां कीर्तिवर्धन:,*वृष्णिवंशका यश बढ़ानेवाला सात्यकि उत्तम शिक्षासे युक्त होनेपर भी अभिमानशून्य हो महारथियोंके साथ क्रीड़ा करता हुआ रणभूमिमें विचर रहा है। इसलिये ये सिद्धणण और सैनिक आश्चवर्यवकित हो समरांगणमें परास्त न होनेवाले सात्यकिकी ओर देखकर “साधु- साधु” कहते हुए इसका अभिनन्दन करते हैं और दोनों दलोंके समस्त योद्धाओंने इसके वीरोचित कर्मोंसे प्रभावित हो इसकी बड़ी प्रशंसा की है”

Sañjaya said: Though perfectly trained, Sātyaki moves through the battlefield without arrogance. Sporting with the great chariot-warriors as if in play, he increases the fame of the Vṛṣṇis. Seeing his fearless prowess, warriors on both sides acclaim him with cries of “Well done!” and praise his heroic deeds.
