三阇耶说道：在阿周那身后，站着大力的优优陀那（萨底耶迦）。而般遮罗的两位勇士——优陀摩纽与乌多摩欧阇——则守护阿周那战车之轮——此等布置彰显在有序的战场暴烈之中，仍需纪律的护持与忠诚的支援。

Educational Q&A
Even in a righteous war, success depends on disciplined cooperation and protective duty: loyal allies take assigned roles (rear-guard and wheel-guard) to safeguard the principal warrior, reflecting kṣatriya-dharma expressed through organized responsibility rather than reckless heroism.
Sañjaya describes the protective arrangement around Arjuna in battle: Sātyaki (Yuyudhāna) stands behind him as support, while the Pāñcāla heroes Yudhāmanyu and Uttamaujā guard the vulnerable chariot-wheels, preventing enemies from disabling Arjuna’s chariot.
