अर्जुनस्य गुरुधर्मविलापः तथा शैनेयकर्णयोर्युद्धारम्भः | Arjuna’s Lament on Guru-Dharma and the Opening of the Sātyaki–Karṇa Duel
पज्चभि: पज्चभिर्बाणै: पुनर्विव्याध सात्यकि: | तब सात्यकिने एक साथ विजयके लिये प्रयत्न करनेवाले उन समस्त शूरवीर महारथियोंको पुन: पाँच-पाँच बाणोंसे घायल कर दिया
pañcabhiḥ pañcabhir bāṇaiḥ punar vivyādha sātyakiḥ | tataḥ sātyakine ekasātha vijayāya prayatnamānān tān sarvān śūrān mahārathīn punaḥ pañca-pañca-bāṇaiḥ kṣatān akarot |
संजय बोले—सात्यकि ने उन सबको फिर पाँच-पाँच बाणों से बेध दिया। तब विजय के लिए एक साथ प्रयत्न करने वाले उन समस्त शूरवीर महारथियों को उसने पुनः पाँच-पाँच बाणों से घायल कर दिया।

Educational Q&A
In the battlefield ethic of kṣatriya-dharma, victory is portrayed as arising from disciplined prowess and unwavering resolve; even when many unite against one, composure and skill can prevail over sheer collective pressure.
Sātyaki repeatedly counters a group of elite warriors who attack him together; he strikes them again, wounding each with five arrows, demonstrating his effectiveness against coordinated opposition.
