Sañjaya nói: “Tâu Đại vương, ngài là người có những người anh em dũng mãnh, lừng danh là bậc thiện xạ khắp mọi cõi; và thần cũng một lòng vì lợi ích của ngài, cũng như Sātyaki lẫy lừng.”

The verse underscores the ethical weight of counsel in wartime: a ruler should recognize both the strength of kin (heroic, world-renowned brothers) and the presence of sincere well-wishers who speak for his good, not merely for victory.
Sañjaya addresses King Dhṛtarāṣṭra, reminding him of the renown and martial prowess associated with his brothers and affirming that he (Sañjaya) and the famed warrior Sātyaki are well-disposed toward the king—framing the ongoing war report with an appeal to perspective and prudent judgment.
