Bhūriśravas–Sātyaki Saṃvāda and Duel; Arjuna’s Intervention (भूरिश्रवाः–सात्यकि संवादः, युद्धम्, अर्जुन-हस्तक्षेपः)
तमुदीर्ण तथा दृष्टवा शैनेयं नरपुड्रवा:
tam udīrṇaṃ tathā dṛṣṭvā śaineyaṃ narapuṅgavāḥ
Sañjaya said: Seeing Śaineya in that heightened, aroused state, the foremost of men took note of him—an omen of the fierce momentum of battle and the surge of resolve that drives warriors beyond hesitation.
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights how inner states—especially a warrior’s roused resolve—shape the moral and practical course of action in war; leaders and heroes must recognize such surges of intensity and respond with disciplined courage rather than confusion or fear.
Sañjaya reports that the leading warriors observe Śaineya (Sātyaki) as he appears intensely stirred and battle-ready, signaling an escalation in the combat situation and drawing the attention of the principal heroes.
