अलंबलवधः (Alaṃbala-vadhaḥ) / The Slaying of Alaṃbala and the Advance toward Karṇa
आरुरोह शिने: पौत्रो ज्वलनादित्यसंनिभम् | भगवान् श्रीकृष्णकी अनुमति पाकर शिनिपौत्र सात्यकि दारुकद्वारा जोते हुए अग्नि और सूर्यके समान तेजस्वी उस रथपर आरूढ़ हुए
āruroha śineḥ pautro jvalanādityasaṃnibham | bhagavān śrīkṛṣṇasyānumatiṃ prāpya śinipautraḥ sātyakiḥ dārukadvārā yojite agni-sūrya-samaṃ tejasvi rathaṃ samāruroha |
Sanjaya berkata: Dengan izin Śrī Kṛṣṇa, Sātyaki—cucu Śini—naik ke kereta yang dipasangi oleh Dāruka, berkilau laksana api dan matahari.

Educational Q&A
Even in the urgency of battle, righteous conduct emphasizes discipline and proper authorization: Sātyaki acts with Kṛṣṇa’s consent, reflecting alignment with legitimate leadership and dharmic order rather than uncontrolled aggression.
Sañjaya reports that Sātyaki, identified as Śini’s grandson, mounts a brilliantly radiant chariot—likened to fire and the sun—after receiving Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s permission; the chariot is harnessed by Dāruka.
