Daiva–Puruṣakāra Discourse and the Elephant-Corps Engagement (भीमगजानीक-सम्भ्रान्ति)
तौ दूरात् सात्यकिं दृष्टवा धृष्टद्युम्नवृकोदरौ । कलिड्डान् समरे वीरौ योधयेतां मनस्विनौ
tau dūrāt sātyakiṁ dṛṣṭvā dhṛṣṭadyumnavṛkodarau | kaliṅgān samare vīrau yodhayetāṁ manasvinau ||
Wika ni Sañjaya: Sa larangan ng digmaan, nakita nina Dhṛṣṭadyumna at Vṛkodara (Bhīma), ang mga bayaning matitibay ang loob, si Sātyaki na papalapit mula sa malayo; kaya lalo silang napalakas ang loob at buong sigasig na nakipaglaban sa mga Kaliṅga.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how the arrival of a trusted ally strengthens resolve and righteous effort in a difficult duty: courage and perseverance in battle are sustained not only by personal strength but also by solidarity and timely support.
Sañjaya reports that Dhṛṣṭadyumna and Bhīma see Sātyaki coming from a distance; encouraged by his approach, they intensify their fighting against the Kaliṅga contingent on the battlefield.
