Droṇa-parva Adhyāya 94: Sātyaki–Sudarśana Yuddha (सात्यकि–सुदर्शन युद्ध)
Devanagari script
तेनान्तरेण बीभत्सुर्विवेशामित्रवाहिनीम् । न लेभाते तु तौ द्वारं वारितौ कृतवर्मणा
Transliteration
tenāntareṇa bībhatsur viveśāmitravāhinīm | na lebhāte tu tau dvāraṃ vāritau kṛtavarmaṇā ||
Translation
Meanwhile, Bībhatsu (Arjuna) forced his way into the enemy host. Yet the two of them could not gain the gateway, for they were held back by Kṛtavarman—an image of how, in war, even rightful resolve meets deliberate resistance and must be tested by discipline and restraint.
