त॑ तथाद्भुतकर्माणं शरसम्पातवर्षिणम् | न केचनाभ्यधावन् वै सात्यकिं तव सैनिका:,इस प्रकार बाणधाराकी वर्षा करनेवाले उस अद्भुत पराक्रमी सात्यकिके सामने जानेका साहस आपके कोई सैनिक न कर सके
taṁ tathādbhuta-karmāṇaṁ śara-sampāta-varṣiṇam | na kecanābhyadhāvan vai sātyakiṁ tava sainikāḥ ||
तं तथाद्भुतकर्माणं शरसम्पातवर्षिणम् । न केचनाभ्यधावन् वै सात्यकिं तव सैनिकाः ॥

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights a battlefield ethic: courage and steadfastness are as decisive as numbers. When a warrior’s skill and resolve become overwhelming, the opposing side’s morale collapses—showing how inner strength (dhairya) and disciplined action can dominate a conflict.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Sātyaki is unleashing a heavy volley of arrows with extraordinary prowess, and that none of the Kaurava soldiers dare to charge directly at him.
