Sātyaki’s Assurance and the Protection of Dharmarāja (सात्यकिवचनम्—धर्मराजरक्षणविचारः)
मय्यपेक्षा न कर्तव्या कथंचिदपि सात्वत । राजन्येव परा गुप्ति: कार्या सर्वात्मना त्वया,'सात्वतवीर! तुम किसी प्रकार भी मेरा अनुसरण न करना। तुम्हें सब प्रकारसे राजा युधिष्ठिरकी ही पूर्णरूपसे रक्षा करनी चाहिये
mayy apekṣā na kartavyā kathaṃcid api sātvatā | rājany eva parā guptiḥ kāryā sarvātmanā tvayā ||
Sañjaya said: “O Sātvata hero, you must not, in any way, look to me or follow after me. Your highest duty is this alone: with your whole being, you must ensure the complete protection of King Yudhiṣṭhira.”
