Commencement of the Śalya–Yudhiṣṭhira Duel
अभिदुद्राव वेगेन मद्राणामधिपं बलात् । तत्पश्चात् सत्यपराक्रमी सात्यकिने दूसरे रथपर आरूढ़ होकर पाण्डवोंको पीड़ित तथा मद्रराजके अधीन हुआ देख बड़े वेगसे बलपूर्वक उनपर धावा किया
abhidudrāva vegena madrāṇām adhipaṃ balāt | tatpaścāt satyaparākramī sātyakine dvitīye rathopari ārūḍhaḥ pāṇḍavān pīḍitān madrarājādhīnaṃ ca dṛṣṭvā mahāvegena balapūrvakaṃ teṣūpādhāvat |
三阇耶说道：随后，他以极快的速度猛然冲出，凭借强力直扑摩陀罗之主。继而，真实勇武的萨底耆登上另一乘战车；见般度诸子受逼迫、竟落在摩陀罗王的威势之下，便以惊人的冲势疾驰而上，怀着决断与护盟之责，奋然攻向他。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights kṣatriya-dharma expressed as protective loyalty: seeing allies oppressed, a warrior responds with decisive courage. Ethical emphasis falls on steadfast valor (satyaparākrama) and responsibility to defend those under threat.
Sañjaya describes Sātyaki mounting another chariot and, observing the Pāṇḍavas being hard-pressed and dominated by the Madra king (Śalya), charging at Śalya with great speed and force.
