Aśvatthāmā’s Agneyāstra, Arjuna’s Brāhmāstra Counter, and Vyāsa’s Instruction
एतस्मिन्नेव काले तु दाशाहों विकिरन् शरान् । धृष्टय्युम्नं पराक्रान्तं सात्यकि: प्रत्यपद्यत,इसी समय दशा्हकुलभूषण सात्यकि बाणोंकी वर्षा करते हुए वहाँ पराक्रमी धृष्टद्युम्नके पास आ पहुँचे
etasminn eva kāle tu dāśārho vikirañ śarān | dhṛṣṭadyumnaṃ parākrāntaṃ sātyakiḥ pratyapadyata ||
Sañjaya berkata: Pada saat itu juga, Sātyaki—permata wangsa Dāśārha—sambil menghujani anak panah, mendekat kepada Dhṛṣṭadyumna yang gagah berani.
