इत्येवं व्यक्तमा भाष्य प्रतिभाष्य च सात्यकि:
ityevaṁ vyaktamā bhāṣya pratibhāṣya ca sātyakiḥ
इत्येवं व्यक्तमा भाष्य प्रतिभाष्य च सात्यकिः पुनरेव तत्र वचनमब्रवीत्।
संजय उवाच
Even in warfare, speech should be clear and accountable: one should state one’s position plainly (vyaktam) and respond directly (pratibhāṣya), avoiding evasiveness or deceit.
Sañjaya narrates that Sātyaki has spoken clearly and then offered a counter-response, marking a turn in the exchange before the action continues.
