Mahabharata 7.116.57 — Drona Parva, Adhyaya 116, Shloka 57
Śaineya’s Breakthrough and Reunion with Arjuna (शैनेयस्य समागमः)
प्रविष्टे तव सैन्यं तु शैनेये सत्यविक्रमे । भीमसेनमुखा: पार्था: प्रतीयुर्वाहिनीं तव,जब सत्यपराक्रमी सात्यकि कौरव-सेनामें प्रविष्ट हो गये, तब भीमसेन आदि कुन्तीकुमारोंन आपकी विशाल वाहिनीपर आक्रमण किया
praviṣṭe tava sainyaṃ tu śaineye satyavikrame | bhīmasenamukhāḥ pārthāḥ pratīyur vāhinīṃ tava ||
సత్యపరాక్రముడైన శైنےయ సాత్యకి నీ సైన్యంలో ప్రవేశించిన వెంటనే, భీమసేన నాయకత్వంలో పార్థులు నీ మహా వాహినిపై దాడికి ముందుకు వచ్చారు.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma in wartime: when a decisive action occurs (Sātyaki breaking into the enemy host), comrades respond promptly under capable leadership (Bhīma at the front). It reflects the ethical expectation of courage, solidarity, and readiness to meet aggression in a righteous cause.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that Sātyaki has penetrated the Kaurava army. In response, the Pāṇḍavas, led by Bhīma, surge forward to attack and engage the Kaurava battle-array.
