This verse lists the pairings: Balarāma fights Kumbhāṇḍa and Kūpakarṇa, Sāmba fights Bāṇa’s son, and Sātyaki fights Bāṇa.
In the Bāṇāsura episode, Kṛṣṇa’s allies engage the demon’s forces; Sātyaki, as a foremost Yādava warrior, confronts Bāṇa directly as the battle unfolds.
Devotional life includes steadfast duty: each devotee serves according to capacity, cooperating in Kṛṣṇa’s mission with courage, discipline, and loyalty.
