Arjuna’s Advance toward Bhīṣma; The Gāṇḍīva’s Signal and the Armies’ Convergence (भीष्माभिमुखगमनम् — गाण्डीवनिर्घोष-ध्वजवर्णनम्)
त॑ चैव पाण्डवा: सर्वे सात्यकिं रभसं रणे । परिवार्य स्थिता: संख्ये समनन््तात् सुमहौजस:,उधर महान् तेजस्वी समस्त पाण्डव भी युद्धमें वेगपूर्वक आगे बढ़नेवाले सात्यकिको सब ओरसे घेरकर समरभूमिमें डट गये
taṁ caiva pāṇḍavāḥ sarve sātyakiṁ rabhasaṁ raṇe | parivārya sthitāḥ saṅkhye samantāt sumahaujasaḥ ||
三阇耶说道：而诸般度婆罗门（般度五子）也环绕萨底耆——他在战阵中以鲁莽之速猛冲向前——众人于战场上稳立不退，以强大威势从四面护围。此景彰显武士之道的同袍之义：在战争的混乱里，正道不在孤身逞勇，而在协同护持盟友，众志成城，共当危难。

Educational Q&A
Even within warfare, conduct aligned with dharma emphasizes collective responsibility—protecting comrades, maintaining formation, and acting with disciplined strength rather than isolated recklessness.
Sātyaki advances fiercely in battle; the Pāṇḍavas respond by forming around him on all sides, standing firm in the fight and effectively shielding/supporting him amid the combat.
