Daiva–Puruṣakāra Discourse and the Elephant-Corps Engagement (भीमगजानीक-सम्भ्रान्ति)
सात्यको5पि ततस्तूर्ण भीमस्य प्रियकाम्यया । गाड़ेयसारथिं तूर्ण पातयामास सायकैः,इधर सात्यकिने भी भीमसेनका प्रिय करनेकी इच्छासे भीष्मके सारथिको तुरंत ही अपने सायकोंद्वारा मार गिराया
sātyako 'pi tatas tūrṇaṃ bhīmasya priyakāmyayā | gāḍeyasārathiṃ tūrṇaṃ pātayāmāsa sāyakaiḥ ||
三阇耶说道：随后，萨底耶吉亦疾然出手；为取悦毗摩，他以箭矢迅速射倒迦陀耶之御者。此偈揭示：个人的忠情与讨好盟友之心，常在战场的道德迷雾中使杀伐更炽。
