Shloka 33
ते पर्वतीया राजान: सर्वे पाषाणयोधिन: । अभ्यद्रवन्त शैनेयं राजानमिव मन्त्रिण:,जैसे मन्त्री राजाके पास जाते हैं, उसी प्रकार वे पाषाणयोधी समस्त पर्वतीय नरेश सात्यकिकी ओर दौड़े
te parvatīyā rājānaḥ sarve pāṣāṇayodhinaḥ | abhyadravanta śaineyaṃ rājānam iva mantriṇaḥ ||
Sañjaya dit : Tous ces rois des montagnes, combattants qui lançaient des pierres, se ruèrent sur Śaineya (Sātyaki), comme des ministres se hâtent vers leur roi, se refermant sur lui d’un dessein concerté au cœur de la mêlée.

The verse highlights how organized counsel and political order (ministers converging on a king) becomes a metaphor for coordinated military pressure—suggesting that collective intent and disciplined alignment can be as decisive in war as individual valor.
Sañjaya reports that a group of mountain-region kings, known for fighting with stones, charge together toward Sātyaki (Śaineya), surrounding or pressing him in a concentrated attack.
