उवाच श्लक्ष्णया वाचा सहदेवो विशाम्पते । प्रजानाथ! इतनेहीमें सहदेव भी तुरंत ही रथसे उतर पड़े और महाबली भीमसेनके द्वारा पकड़े गये सात्यकिसे मधुर वाणीमें इस प्रकार बोले---
sañjaya uvāca | uvāca ślakṣṇayā vācā sahadevo viśāmpate | prajānātha! itenahīme sahadeva bhī turanta hi rathase utara paṛe aura mahābalī bhīmasenake dvārā pakaṛe gaye sātyakise madhura vāṇīmeṃ isa prakāra बोले—
Sanjaya said: O lord of the people, Sahadeva spoke in a gentle voice. At that very moment, Sahadeva quickly descended from his chariot and, addressing Satyaki—who had been seized by the mighty Bhimasena—spoke to him with sweet, conciliatory words. The scene underscores a moral restraint amid violence: even in the heat of battle, speech can be used to steady allies, de-escalate rashness, and uphold disciplined conduct.
