Drona Parva, Adhyāya 32
सूतपुत्र॑ चतुःषष्ट्या विद्ध्वा सिंह इवानदत् | तत्पश्चात् चन्द्रमाके समान कान्तिमान् सात्यकिने भी दूसरा धनुष हाथमें लेकर सूतपुत्र कर्णको चौंसठ बाणोंसे घायल करके सिंहके समान गर्जना की
sañjaya uvāca | sūtaputraṁ catuḥṣaṣṭyā viddhvā siṁha ivānadat | tatpaścāt candramāke samāna-kāntimān sātyakine dvitīyaṁ dhanuḥ hastam ādadhe |
サンジャヤは言った。「サーティヤキは御者の子カルナを六十四の矢で射貫き、獅子のごとく咆哮した。ついで月のように輝き、手に第二の弓を取り、正しき戦の掟（ダルマ）の要請のもと、不動の決意で戦いをさらに押し進めた。」

The passage highlights kṣatriya-dharma in practice: steadfast courage, disciplined skill, and resolve under pressure. Even in violent conflict, the warrior ideal emphasizes composure, capability, and commitment to one’s duty rather than hesitation or despair.
Sātyaki strikes Karṇa with sixty-four arrows and roars in triumph like a lion. Immediately afterward, shining like the moon, he takes up a second bow—suggesting either his first bow was damaged or he is intensifying the fight—continuing the duel as Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra.
