Shloka 5
तां वृष्टिं सहसा राजन्नुत्थितां घोररूपिणीम् । वारयामास शैनेयो योधयंस्तान् महारथान्,राजन! उन महारथियोंके साथ युद्ध करते हुए शिनिपौत्र सात्यकिने सहसा उठी हुई उस भयंकर बाण-वर्षाको अपने अस्त्रोंद्वारा रोक दिया
tāṁ vṛṣṭiṁ sahasā rājann utthitāṁ ghorarūpiṇīm | vārayāmāsa śaineyo yodhayaṁs tān mahārathān ||
Sanjaya berkata: “Wahai Raja, tatkala hujan panah yang mengerikan itu tiba-tiba bangkit, Śaineya Sātyaki—sambil bertempur dengan para pahlawan kereta agung itu—segera menahannya dengan senjatanya sendiri.”
संजय उवाच
