द्रोणेन सात्यकिपीडनम् — Yudhiṣṭhira’s Charge to Sātyaki amid Droṇa’s Onslaught
यद्यस्य देवा गोप्तार: सेन्द्रा: सर्वे तथाप्यसौ । राजधानीं यमस्याद्य हत: प्राप्स्यति संकुले,यदि इन्द्रसहित सम्पूर्ण देवता भी उसकी रक्षाके लिये आ जायँ तथापि वह आज संग्राममें मारा जाकर यमराजकी राजधानीमें अवश्य जा पहुँचेगा
yady asya devā goptāraḥ sendrāḥ sarve tathāpy asau | rājadhānīṃ yamasya adya hataḥ prāpsyati saṅkule ||
ಇಂದ್ರನೊಡನೆ ಎಲ್ಲ ದೇವರುಗಳು ಅವನ ರಕ್ಷಕರಾಗಿ ಬಂದರೂ ಸಹ, ಅವನು ಇಂದು ಯುದ್ಧಸಂಕುಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಹತನಾಗಿ ಯಮನ ರಾಜಧಾನಿಯನ್ನು ನಿಶ್ಚಯವಾಗಿ ಸೇರುವನು.

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches the inevitability of death when destiny (shaped by prior action and the moral trajectory of events) has matured: even divine intervention cannot avert what is firmly ordained.
Vāyudeva declares a prophetic certainty about a warrior’s imminent death in the battle: regardless of any protection—even by all gods with Indra—the person will be killed that very day and will go to Yama’s realm.
