Shloka 6
भीष्मस्य शरशय्या-प्राप्तिः
Bhīṣma’s Fall to the Arrow-Bed
तदनन्तर राक्षसने सत्यपराक्रमी महाबाहु सात्यकिको तीखे सायकोंसे बींध डाला और सिंहके समान गर्जना की ।।
tad-anantaraṁ rākṣasena satya-parākramaḥ mahā-bāhuḥ sātyakiḥ tīṣṇaiḥ sāyakaiḥ viddhaḥ; siṁha-vad garjanām akarot. mādhavaḥ tu bhṛśaṁ viddhaḥ rākṣasena raṇe tadā; vāryamāṇaś ca tejasvī jahāsa ca nanāda ca.
三阇耶说：紧接着，臂力雄伟、勇武从不虚妄的萨提耆，被那罗刹以锐利之箭贯穿，却仍如狮子般咆哮。纵使身受重创，又在战场上为那罗刹所阻，光辉的夜陀婆勇士也不向恐惧屈服；反而大笑并放声怒吼，在战争的道德考验中显出坚忍不移的胆魄。

The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma as steadfastness under pressure: even when wounded and obstructed, a warrior is expected to maintain courage, presence of mind, and resolve rather than collapse into fear or despair.
A Rākṣasa fighter strikes and restrains Sātyaki on the battlefield, wounding him severely with sharp arrows. Sātyaki responds not with retreat but with a lion-like roar and laughter, signaling defiance and unbroken fighting spirit.
