Shloka 336
अभ्ययात् तूर्णमव्यग्रो दयां नाकुरुतात्मनि । इस प्रकार स्पष्ट बोलकर दुर्योधनकी बातका उत्तर दे सात्यकि निःशंक होकर तुरंत आगे बढ़े, उन्होंने अपने ऊपर दया नहीं दिखायी
abhyayāt tūṛṇam avyagro dayāṃ nākurutātmani |
अभ्ययात् तूर्णमव्यग्रो दयां नाकुरुतात्मनि । एवं स्पष्टं वचः प्रोच्य दुर्योधनवचः प्रति, सात्यकिर्निःशङ्कस्त्वरितं प्रागग्रेऽभ्यवर्तत; आत्मनि दयां न चकार॥

Educational Q&A
In a crisis of dharma on the battlefield, the warrior ideal emphasizes steadiness (avyagra) and decisive action; refusing “dayā toward oneself” here means not yielding to self-pity or hesitation that would undermine duty and protection of one’s side.
After answering Duryodhana’s words, Sātyaki immediately moves forward with composure and speed, signaling readiness to act and to face danger without wavering.
