Dhṛtarāṣṭra–Saṃjaya Dialogue; Account of Sātyaki vs Alambusa
अभ्यधावदू रणे यत्तो युयुधानं युयुत्सया । द्रोणाचार्यने अपनी बिखरी हुई सेनाको एकत्र करके उसकी रक्षाका भार कृतवर्माको सौंपकर समरांगणमें सात्यकिके साथ युद्ध करनेकी इच्छासे उद्यत हो उनके पीछे-पीछे दौड़े | ६२ई ।। तथा तमनुधावन्तं युयुधानस्य पृष्ठत:
sañjaya uvāca | abhyadhāvad raṇe yatto yuyudhānaṃ yuyutsayā | tathā tamanudhāvantaṃ yuyudhānasya pṛṣṭhataḥ |
Sañjaya said: Eager for battle, he charged across the battlefield, intent on fighting Yuyudhāna (Sātyaki). And as he pursued him, he ran close behind Yuyudhāna’s back—pressing the chase in the heat of war. The scene underscores the relentless momentum of combat, where duty to one’s side and the urge to subdue a formidable opponent drive commanders into direct pursuit.
