Shloka 193
यदेको बहुभि: सार्धमसम्भ्रान्तमयुध्यत । वहाँ हमने सात्यकिका अत्यन्त अद्भुत चरित्र देखा कि वे बिना किसी घबराहटके अकेले ही बहुसंख्यक योद्धाओंके साथ युद्ध कर रहे थे
yad eko bahubhiḥ sārdham asambhrāntam ayudhyata |
Wika ni Sañjaya: Doon namin nasaksihan ang pinakakamangha-manghang gawa ni Sātyaki—kalmado at di matinag—na mag-isa niyang hinarap at nilabanan ang napakaraming mandirigma. Ipinapakita ng tagpong iyon ang katatagan ng isip sa gitna ng kaguluhan: ang tapang ay hindi nasusukat sa poot, kundi sa pagpipigil, kapanatagan, at matibay na pasya sa harap ng nakalalamang na puwersa.

The verse underscores inner steadiness (asambhrānti) as a hallmark of true valor: ethical courage in war is not mere aggression, but disciplined composure and unwavering resolve when facing superior numbers.
Sañjaya reports to Dhṛtarāṣṭra that they witnessed an extraordinary moment: Sātyaki, without fear or confusion, fought single-handedly against many warriors, displaying remarkable bravery and control.
