Shloka 35
Sātyaki’s Assurance and the Protection of Dharmarāja (सात्यकिवचनम्—धर्मराजरक्षणविचारः)
Devanagari script
एवमुक्तस्तु पार्थेन सात्यकि: परवीरहा । तथेत्युक्त्वागमत् तत्र यत्र राजा युधिष्ठिर:,अर्जुनके ऐसा कहनेपर शत्रुवीरोंका संहार करनेवाले सात्यकि “बहुत अच्छा” कहकर जहाँ राजा युधिष्छिर थे, वहीं चले गये
Transliteration
evam uktas tu pārthena sātyakiḥ paravīrahā | tathety uktvāgamat tatra yatra rājā yudhiṣṭhiraḥ ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Thus addressed by Pārtha (Arjuna), Sātyaki—slayer of enemy champions—replied, “So be it,” and at once went to the place where King Yudhiṣṭhira was. The moment underscores disciplined obedience within righteous warfare: a warrior restrains personal impulse and acts in alignment with the commander’s purpose and the protection of the rightful king.
