Bhūriśravas’s Censure, Prāyopaveśa, and Sātyaki’s Beheading

sarvataḥ pratividdhas tu tava putrair mahārathaiḥ | tān pratyavidhyad vārṣṇeyaḥ pṛthak pṛthag ajid-dāgaiḥ ||

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the kṣatriya code in wartime: endurance under attack and proportionate, skillful response. It frames retaliation not as personal spite but as battlefield duty—maintaining resolve and protecting one’s side through disciplined martial action.
Sātyaki, surrounded and wounded by Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s warrior sons, counters effectively. He targets them individually and pierces each with his arrows, demonstrating superior control and turning the tide of the immediate exchange.
