नैतदीदृशकं युद्ध॑ कृतवांस्तत्र फाल्गुन: । यादृशं कृतवान् युद्ध शिनेर्नप्ता महायशा:,शिनिके महायशस्वी पौत्र सात्यकिने वहाँ जैसा युद्ध किया, वैसा तो अर्जुनने भी नहीं किया था

na etad īdṛśakaṃ yuddhaṃ kṛtavāṃs tatra phālgunaḥ |
yādṛśaṃ kṛtavān yuddhaṃ śiner naptā mahāyaśāḥ ||
Disse Sañjaya: Ali, Falguna (Arjuna) não travara batalha semelhante. Um combate como o que realizou o ilustre neto de Śini—Sātyaki, de grande fama—não foi igualado nem mesmo por Arjuna.

The verse highlights exemplary kṣatriya valor and steadfastness in battle, showing that merit and excellence can appear even beyond the most celebrated heroes. Ethically, it points to recognizing extraordinary effort and prowess without bias, even amid a tragic war.
Sanjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Sātyaki—described as the famed grandson of Śini—fought with such exceptional intensity and skill that even Arjuna had not displayed a comparable kind of battle on that occasion.
