The passage highlights kṣatriya-dharma: steadfastness and responsibility in battle are honored, while losing one’s means (horses, bow) and turning away signals a breakdown of martial resolve; the narrative then moves to the next accountable warrior (Drupada) who continues the contest.
Satyajit, after his horses are disabled and his fighting capacity repeatedly compromised, withdraws and flees. Seeing this, Drupada begins a rapid arrow-shower against Arjuna, and Arjuna responds by engaging Drupada in a major fight.
