The Exploits of Śaineya/Sātyaki amid Encirclement

Devanagari script

भीमसेन तु कौन्तेयं सोदर्या: पर्यवारयन्‌ । विविंशतिकश्षित्रसेनो विकर्णश्ष्‌ महारथ:,उस समय विविंशति, चित्रसेन तथा महारथी विकर्ण--इन तीनों भाइयोंने कुन्तीपुत्र भीमसेनको घेर लिया

Transliteration

bhīmasena tu kaunteyaṃ sodaryāḥ paryavārayan | viviṃśatir citrasenaś ca vikarnaś ca mahārathaḥ ||

Translation

Sañjaya said: Then the Kuntī-born Bhīmasena was surrounded by his own brothers—Viviṃśati, Citrasena, and the great chariot-warrior Vikarna. In the press of battle, kinship is set aside as the Kauravas attempt to check Bhīma’s overwhelming force, showing how war turns even familial bonds into instruments of strategy and duty as each side understands it.
