Kemudian Duryodhana yang murka menarik busurnya sepenuh-penuhnya dan melepaskan sepuluh anak panah, menembus Sātyaki yang mabuk oleh hiruk-pikuk perang.

The verse highlights how anger (krodha) quickly turns into retaliatory violence: even skilled action becomes ethically narrowed when driven by rage, reinforcing the epic’s broader warning that wrath fuels escalation and suffering in war.
Sañjaya narrates that Duryodhana, provoked and furious, counterattacks by shooting ten arrows, thereby wounding Sātyaki amid the ongoing battle in the Droṇa Parva.
