rathaṁ hemamayaṁ śubhraṁ śaibyasugrīvayojitam | saha sātyakinā kṛṣṇaḥ samāsthāyānvayāt kurūn ||
शैब्य और सुग्रीव नामक घोड़ों से जुते हुए सुन्दर सुवर्णमय रथ पर आरूढ़ हो सात्यकि सहित श्रीकृष्ण भी कौरवों के पीछे-पीछे गये।

Educational Q&A
Even amid politically charged movement toward conflict, the text highlights disciplined action under rightful guidance: Kṛṣṇa proceeds with clarity and support (Sātyaki), suggesting that dharmic action is deliberate, accountable, and strengthened by loyal companionship.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa, with Sātyaki, mounts a radiant golden chariot yoked to the horses Śaibya and Sugrīva, and follows behind the Kurus as the sequence of events continues.
