अथापश्यं॑ सात्यकिं तमुपायान्तं महारथम् । रथैश्नतुःशतैर्वीरों मामभ्यद्रवदाहवे,इतनेमें ही मैंने महारथी सात्यकिको अपने पास आते देखा। वीर सात्यकिने युद्धस्थलमें चार सौ रथियोंके साथ मुझपर धावा किया
athāpaśyaṃ sātyakiṃ tam upāyāntaṃ mahāratham | rathaiś catuḥśatair vīro mām abhyadravad āhave ||
ଏତିକିବେଳେ ମୁଁ ମହାରଥୀ ସାତ୍ୟକିଙ୍କୁ ମୋ ପାଖକୁ ଆସୁଥିବା ଦେଖିଲି। ସେ ବୀର ଚାରିଶେ ରଥୀଙ୍କ ସହ ଯୁଦ୍ଧଭୂମିରେ ସିଧାସଳଖ ମୋ ଉପରେ ଧାଇଲେ।
संजय उवाच
The verse highlights the battlefield ethic of kṣātra-dharma: decisive action, courage, and organized force in war. It also underscores how quickly circumstances shift in conflict, demanding alertness and readiness.
Sañjaya reports that Sātyaki, a renowned Pāṇḍava ally, advances toward him and launches an attack, supported by four hundred chariot-warriors—signaling a major tactical push in the battle.
