Transliteration
so 'tividdho balavatā maheṣvāsena dhanvinā | īṣan-mūrcchāṃ jagāmāśu sātyakiḥ satyavikramaḥ ||
Translation
Sañjaya said: Pierced again and again by the powerful archer, that great bowman, Sātyaki—whose valor is true—quickly fell into a slight swoon. Even amid the fury of battle, the verse underscores how bodily limits can momentarily overtake even the steadfast, without negating their dharma-bound resolve to continue the fight.
