Bhūriśravas–Sātyaki Saṃvāda and Duel; Arjuna’s Intervention (भूरिश्रवाः–सात्यकि संवादः, युद्धम्, अर्जुन-हस्तक्षेपः)
तमुदीर्ण तथा दृष्टवा शैनेयं नरपुड्रवा:
tam udīrṇaṃ tathā dṛṣṭvā śaineyaṃ narapuṅgavāḥ
Sañjaya berkata: “Melihat Śaineya dalam keadaan yang memuncak dan tersulut demikian, para insan terunggul menaruh perhatian kepadanya—suatu alamat tentang derasnya momentum perang dan gelora tekad yang mengatasi segala keraguan para pahlawan.”
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights how inner states—especially a warrior’s roused resolve—shape the moral and practical course of action in war; leaders and heroes must recognize such surges of intensity and respond with disciplined courage rather than confusion or fear.
Sañjaya reports that the leading warriors observe Śaineya (Sātyaki) as he appears intensely stirred and battle-ready, signaling an escalation in the combat situation and drawing the attention of the principal heroes.
