भूरिश्रवसः गर्हा, प्रायोपवेशः, सात्यकिकृतशिरच्छेदः
Bhūriśravas’s Censure, Prāyopaveśa, and Sātyaki’s Beheading
सात्यकि: कुरुराजेन निर्विद्धों बह्मशो भत । अस्रवद् रुधिरं भूरि स्वरसं चन्दनो यथा,सात्यकि कुरुराज दुर्योधनके बाणोंसे बिंधकर अधिक मात्रामें रक्त बहाने लगे। उस समय वे अपना रक्त बहाते हुए लाल चन्दनवृक्षके समान अधिक शोभा पा रहे थे
Sañjaya uvāca — Sātyakiḥ Kururājena nirviddho bahuśo bhṛśam | asravad rudhiraṃ bhūri svarasaṃ candano yathā ||
サञ्जャヤは言った。サーティヤキは、クル族の王（ドゥルヨーダナ）の矢に幾度も激しく貫かれ、夥しい血を流し始めた。しかも血を流しながら、彼はいよいよ輝きを増し—まるで紅檀の木が本来の深紅の樹液を滲ませるかのようであった。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights steadfastness under suffering: even when wounded and bleeding, a warrior committed to duty can retain dignity and radiance. It also uses a moral-aesthetic lens—pain is not glorified for cruelty, but portrayed as endurance within the grave responsibilities of war.
Sañjaya narrates that Sātyaki is struck many times by the Kuru king Duryodhana’s arrows and bleeds profusely. Despite the wounds, Sātyaki appears striking and radiant, compared to a red sandalwood tree oozing its natural sap.
