Sātyaki’s Assurance and the Protection of Dharmarāja (सात्यकिवचनम्—धर्मराजरक्षणविचारः)
ततस्तत् कथयामास यथा दृष्टं धनंजय: । आश्चासनार्थ सुदह्ददां ऋ्यम्बकेण समागमम्,यों कहकर अर्जुन अपने सुहृदोंके आश्वासनके लिये जिस प्रकार भगवान् शंकरसे मिलनका स्वप्न देखा था, वह सब कह सुनाया
tatas tat kathayāmāsa yathā dṛṣṭaṃ dhanaṃjayaḥ | āśvāsanārthaṃ suhṛdāṃ tryambakeṇa samāgamam ||
Sañjaya dit : Alors Dhanañjaya (Arjuna) rapporta tout, exactement comme il l’avait vu — comment, pour rassurer ses chers compagnons, il avait contemplé en songe sa rencontre avec Tryambaka (le Seigneur Śiva).

Educational Q&A
In the midst of war, a leader sustains morale by sharing experiences that strengthen faith and confidence; Arjuna’s account functions ethically as reassurance to his well-wishers, grounding courage in devotion rather than mere aggression.
Sanjaya reports that Arjuna tells his companions what he saw—specifically, a dream-vision of meeting Lord Śiva (Tryambaka)—and he recounts it to comfort and steady his allies.
