Sañjaya’s Report
महोरस्को दीर्घबाहु: प्रमाथी युद्धेडद्धितीय: परमास्त्रवेदी । शिनेर्नप्ता तालमात्रायुधो<यं महारथो वीतभय: कृतास्त्र:
mahorasko dīrghabāhuḥ pramāthī yuddhe dvitīyaḥ paramāstravedī | śiner naptā tālamātrāyudho 'yaṃ mahāratho vītabhayaḥ kṛtāstraḥ ||
サञ्जयは言った。「このサーティヤキは、胸広く腕長く、敵を粉砕する戦士であり、戦場において比肩する者がない。彼はシーニの孫、偉大なる車戦の勇者で、その武器はターラ（椰子・棕櫚）ほどの丈に及び、恐れを知らず、武器の学に完全に鍛えられている。この勇士列伝における彼への讃辞は、ただの体力ではなく、規律ある熟達と、迫り来る戦のただ中でも揺るがぬ心の定まりを示すのである。」

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ideal of disciplined valor: true martial excellence combines physical strength, mastery of weapons, and fearlessness grounded in training—qualities expected of a kṣatriya when war becomes unavoidable.
Sañjaya is enumerating and praising notable warriors; here he singles out Sātyaki, emphasizing his lineage (Śini’s grandson), elite status as a mahāratha, and his unmatched prowess and expertise in advanced weapons.
