Bhūriśravas’s Censure, Prāyopaveśa, and Sātyaki’s Beheading

Devanagari script

समाश्चस्य च हार्दिक्यो गृह चान्यन्महद्‌ धनु: । तस्थौ स तत्र बलवान्‌ वारयन्‌ युधि पाण्डवान्‌,उधर बलवान कृतवर्मा आश्वस्त होकर दूसरा विशाल धनुष हाथमें लेकर युद्धस्थलमें पाण्डवोंका सामना करता हुआ वहीं खड़ा रहा

Transliteration

samāścāsya ca hārdikyo gṛhe cānyan mahad dhanuḥ | tasthau sa tatra balavān vārayann yudhi pāṇḍavān ||

Translation

Sañjaya said: Kṛtavarmā, the son of Hṛdīka, having regained his composure, took up another great bow and stood firm there on the battlefield, powerfully holding back the Pāṇḍavas in the fight. The verse highlights steadfastness and martial duty amid chaos—resuming one’s role in war with resolve, even after disruption.
