शल्यपरिघातः (Śalya Under Encirclement) — Mahābhārata, Śalya-parva, Adhyāya 12
सात्यकिं भीमसेनं च माद्रीपुत्री च पाण्डवी
sātyakiṃ bhīmasenaṃ ca mādrīputrī ca pāṇḍavī
സഞ്ജയൻ പറഞ്ഞു—അവൻ സാത്യകിയെയും ഭീമസേനനെയും, മാദ്രിയുടെ പുത്രിയായ പാണ്ഡവിയെയും കൂടി കണ്ടു/പരാമർശിച്ചു।

Educational Q&A
Even in a war narrative, the verse foregrounds identity through relationships—ally (Sātyaki), heroic duty (Bhīma), and lineage (Mādrī’s daughter, a Pāṇḍava lady). It implicitly highlights how dharma in conflict is experienced through bonds of kinship and allegiance, intensifying responsibility and sorrow.
Sañjaya, reporting events to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, lists or points out key Pāṇḍava-side figures—Sātyaki, Bhīmasena, and a Pāṇḍava woman identified as Mādrī’s daughter—within the ongoing Shalya Parva war account.
