Shloka 44
इदं च ब्रूया मा वृणीष्वेति लोके युद्धेडद्धितीयं सचिवं रथस्थम् । शिनेर्नप्तारं प्रवृणीम सात्यकिं महाबलं॑ वीतभयं कृतास्त्रम्,तुम दुर्योधनसे यह भी कह देना कि अब संसारमें जीवित रहकर तुम राज्य भोगनेकी इच्छा न करो। हमने युद्धके लिये अद्वितीय वीर, महान् बलवान, निर्भय तथा अस्त्रविद्यामें निपुण शिनिपौत्र रथारूढ़ सात्यकिको अपना सहायक चुन लिया है
idaṃ ca brūyā mā vṛṇīṣveti loke yuddhe dvitīyaṃ sacivaṃ rathastham | śiner naptāraṃ pravṛṇīma sātyakiṃ mahābalaṃ vītabhayaṃ kṛtāstram ||
三阇耶说道：“并且还要这样转告他：‘莫只为享受王权而苟活于世。’因为为此战，我们已择定无与伦比的副将，立于战车之上——尸尼之孙萨提亚基：力雄无匹，心无所惧，武艺诸般皆已习成。”

Sañjaya reports a message intended for Duryodhana: the opposing side declares its resolve for war and announces that Sātyaki—Śini’s grandson, a renowned chariot-warrior—has been selected as an unmatched second-in-command and close aide in battle.
