अध्याय १४६ — निशायां सात्यकिदुर्योधनयुद्धम् / Chapter 146 — Night Battle: Sātyaki and Duryodhana; Śakuni’s Encirclement of Arjuna
स तेन वरदानेन लब्धवान् भूरिदक्षिणम् । अपातयच्च समरे सौमदत्ति: शिने: सुनम्,उसी वरदानके प्रभावसे सोमदत्तने प्रचुर दक्षिणा देनेवाले भूरिश्रवाको पुत्ररूपमें प्राप्त किया और उसने समरांगणमें शिनिवंशज सात्यकिको गिरा दिया
sa tena varadānena labdhavān bhūridakṣiṇam | apātayac ca samare saumadattiḥ śineḥ sunam |
Sañjaya said: By the power of that boon, Somadatta obtained Bhūriśravas—renowned for lavish gifts—as his son; and in the thick of battle he struck down the son of Śini, Sātyaki. The verse underscores how boons and past merit can shape lineage and martial outcomes, even as the battlefield remains governed by relentless cause and consequence.
