Bhūriśravas–Sātyaki Saṃvāda and Duel; Arjuna’s Intervention (भूरिश्रवाः–सात्यकि संवादः, युद्धम्, अर्जुन-हस्तक्षेपः)
नाकम्पत महाबाहुस्तदद्भुतमिवाभवत् | जलसंधके बहुत-से बाणोंद्वारा क्षत-विक्षत होनेपर भी पराक्रमी महाबाहु सात्यकि कम्पित नहीं हुए। यह अद्भुत-सी बात थी
nākampata mahābāhus tad adbhutam ivābhavat |
Sañjaya berkata: “Sātyaki yang berlengan perkasa tidak bergoncang; seakan-akan suatu keajaiban. Walaupun dihujani banyak anak panah hingga luka koyak, wira gagah itu tetap teguh tidak tergoyahkan—suatu peragaan keberanian yang luar biasa di tengah keganasan perang.”

Steadfastness under suffering is presented as a heroic virtue: even when wounded by many arrows, a warrior who remains unshaken embodies disciplined courage and resolve, aligning with kṣatriya-dharma in the battlefield context.
Sañjaya reports that Sātyaki, despite being struck and lacerated by numerous arrows during the fighting, did not tremble. The narrator highlights this composure as something astonishing.
