भूरिश्रवसः गर्हा, प्रायोपवेशः, सात्यकिकृतशिरच्छेदः
Bhūriśravas’s Censure, Prāyopaveśa, and Sātyaki’s Beheading
विव्याध निशितैस्तूर्ण सात्यकि: सत्यविक्रम: । तत्पश्चात् सत्यपराक्रमी सात्यकिने तिरसठ बाणोंसे उसके चारों घोड़ोंको और सात तीखे बाणोंसे उसके सारथिको भी शीघ्र ही क्षत-विक्षत कर दिया
sañjaya uvāca | vivyādha niśitais tūrṇaṃ sātyakiḥ satyavikramaḥ | tatpaścāt satyaparākramaḥ sātyakine tirasathabāṇaiḥ tasya catvāro hayān sapta tīrṇabāṇaiś ca tasya sārathiṃ api śīghram eva kṣata-vikṣataṃ cakāra |
Sanjaya said: Satyaki, whose valor never failed, swiftly pierced his foe with sharp arrows. Then, displaying true prowess, he struck down the opponent’s four horses with sixty-three arrows and, with seven keen shafts, quickly wounded and mangled the charioteer as well—an act that shows how, in the ruthless ethics of battlefield duty, disabling the chariot’s support becomes a decisive means to end resistance.
