द्रोणपर्व — अध्याय 128: दुर्योधनस्य परसेनाप्रवेशः
Duryodhana’s Incursion and the Tumult of Battle
इतो गते भीमसेने सात्वतं प्रति पाण्डवे । सनाथौ भवितारीौ हि युधि सात्वतफाल्गुनौ,'यहाँसे सात्यकिके पथपर पाण्डुपुत्र भीमसेनके जानेपर युद्धस्थलमें डटे हुए सात्यकि और अर्जुन सनाथ हो जायूँगे
ito gate bhīmasene sātvataṃ prati pāṇḍave | sanāthau bhavitāryau hi yudhi sātvata-phālgunau ||
Sañjaya dit : «Quand Bhīmasena, fils de Pāṇḍu, sera parti d’ici vers Sātyaki, alors, au cœur de la bataille, Sātyaki et Arjuna seront assurément bien soutenus : non plus isolés, mais fortifiés par la présence d’un allié.»

Educational Q&A
In a dharmic war setting, steadfastness is sustained not only by personal valor but also by timely support: allies arriving at the right moment restore strength, morale, and strategic balance for those holding the line.
Sañjaya reports that Bhīma is moving from his current position toward Sātyaki; as a result, Sātyaki and Arjuna—already standing firm in the battle—will no longer be without backing and will be reinforced on the battlefield.
