A simple detail — Krishna and Satyaki riding "rathena ekena", on a single chariot — again reveals the Lord's closeness to His devotees: He does not set Himself apart by rank. All go out "hṛṣṭāḥ", joyful, having saluted the king. It is telling that the movement toward battle begins with reverence for the King of Dharma. The verse teaches that in the camp of the righteous both the order of respect and the simplicity of brotherhood reign together: even the Lord shares a chariot with a comrade; and the decisive day begins not in agitation but in the joyful gathering of the faithful, honoring both God and their leader.
