सहदेव–सात्यकि संवादः
Sahadeva and Satyaki on resolve after failed conciliation
सात्यकिं च महावीर्य विराटं च सहात्मजम् । द्रपदं॑ च सहामात्य॑ धृष्टद्युम्नं च माधव,केशव! अपने शरीरमें मांस और रक्तका बोझ बढ़ानेवाला कौन ऐसा मनुष्य है, जो युद्धमें युधिष्ठि, भीमसेन, किसीसे पराजित न होनेवाले अर्जुन, सहदेव, बलराम, महापराक्रमी सात्यकि, पुत्रोंसहित विराट, मन्त्रियोंसहित द्रुपद, धृष्टद्युम्न, पराक्रमी काशिराज, चेदिनरेश धृष्टकेतु तथा आपका और मेरा सामना कर सके?
sātyakiṁ ca mahāvīryaṁ virāṭaṁ ca sahātmajam | drupadaṁ ca sahāmātyaṁ dhṛṣṭadyumnaṁ ca mādhava-keśava |
Nakula said: “And Sātyaki of great prowess; and Virāṭa together with his sons; and Drupada together with his ministers; and Dhṛṣṭadyumna as well—O Mādhava, O Keśava! Who is that man, one who only increases the burden of flesh and blood in his body, that could stand against you and me in battle when Yudhiṣṭhira, Bhīmasena, unconquerable Arjuna, Sahadeva, Balarāma, the mighty Sātyaki, Virāṭa with his sons, Drupada with his counselors, Dhṛṣṭadyumna, the valiant king of Kāśī, and Dhṛṣṭaketu of Cedi are on our side?”
