धृष्टद्युम्नस्य द्रोणरथारोহণं सात्यकेः प्रतिरक्षणं च | Dhrishtadyumna Boards Droṇa’s Chariot; Sātyaki’s Counter-Protection
न भाषितुं शक्नुवन्ति द्रष्ट॑ वा सुहृदो &र्जुनम् । अन्यत्र वासुदेवाद्वा ज्येष्ठाद्वा पाण्डुनन्दनात्,उस अवस्थामें वसुदेवनन्दन भगवान् श्रीकृष्ण अथवा ज्येष्ठ पाण्डुनन्दन युधिष्ठिरको छोड़कर दूसरे सगे-सम्बन्धी न तो उनसे कुछ बोल सकते थे और न तो देखनेका ही साहस करते थे
na bhāṣituṁ śaknuvanti draṣṭuṁ vā suhṛdo 'rjunam | anyatra vāsudevād vā jyeṣṭhād vā pāṇḍunandanāt ||
सञ्जय उवाच—अर्जुनं प्रति सुहृदः न भाषितुं शक्ताः, न वा द्रष्टुं धैर्यम् अलभन्त; वासुदेवात् वा ज्येष्ठात् पाण्डुनन्दनात् (युधिष्ठिरात्) अन्ये न कश्चन।

Educational Q&A
Intense sorrow and moral upheaval can render even loving companions powerless; steadiness rooted in dharma and spiritual composure enables a person to face suffering without turning away—exemplified by Kṛṣṇa and Yudhiṣṭhira.
