धृतराष्ट्र-संजय-संवादः — सात्यकि-अलम्बुसयोर्युद्धवर्णनम्
Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Saṃjaya Dialogue; Account of Sātyaki vs Alambusa
मध्यमं जवमास्थाय वह मामत्र सारथे | बाह्लिका यत्र दृश्यन्ते नानाप्रहरणोद्यता:
madhyamaṃ javam āsthāya vaha mām atra sārathe | bāhlīkā yatra dṛśyante nānāpraharaṇodyatāḥ ||
Dengan mengambil kecepatan sedang, bawalah aku ke sini, wahai sais—ke tempat para Bāhlīka tampak, siap bertempur dengan aneka senjata.
संजय उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined action in crisis: even amid war, movement is regulated (“moderate speed”) and directed by clear situational awareness—an ethic of controlled conduct rather than reckless haste.
Sañjaya issues an instruction to his charioteer to proceed at a measured pace toward the location where the Bāhlīka fighters are visible, standing armed and prepared for battle.
