समाश्चस्य तु पुत्रस्ते सात्यकिं पुनरभ्ययात् । विसृजन्निषुजालानि युयुधानरथं प्रति,फिर धीरे-धीरे कुछ आराम मिलनेपर आपका पुत्र पुनः सात्यकिपर चढ़ आया और उनके रथपर बाणोंके जाल बिछाने लगा
samāśvasya tu putras te sātyakiṃ punar abhyayāt | visṛjann iṣu-jālāni yuyudhāna-rathaṃ prati ||
Sañjaya said: After regaining his breath and composure, your son once again charged at Sātyaki, showering a net of arrows toward the chariot of Yuyudhāna. The scene underscores the relentless momentum of battle—brief respite followed by renewed assault—where prowess and persistence drive the combatants onward, even as the moral weight of violence continues to loom over the field.

The verse highlights the battlefield ethic of relentless engagement: a warrior may pause only briefly to recover, then must re-enter combat with full force. It also invites reflection on how endurance and martial duty can intensify violence, raising ethical awareness even amid heroic action.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Duryodhana, after a moment of recovery, again advances on Sātyaki (Yuyudhāna) and covers his chariot with a dense shower of arrows.
