Сатьяки
लोकत्रयं योधयेयं सदेवासुरमानुषम् ॥
त्वत्प्रयुक्तो नरेन्द्रेह किम् उतैतत् सुदुर्बलम् ॥
सुयोधनबलं त्व् अद्य योधयिष्ये समन्ततः ॥
विजेष्ये च रणे राजन् सत्यम् एतद् ब्रवीमि ते ॥
कुशल्य् अहं कुशलिनं समासाद्य धनंजयम् ॥
हते जयद्रथे राजन् पुनर् एष्यामि ते ऽन्तिकम् ॥
lokatrayaṃ yodhayeyaṃ sadevāsuramānuṣam ||
tvatprayukto narendreha kim utaitat sudurbalam ||
suyodhanabalaṃ tv adya yodhayiṣye samantataḥ ||
vijeṣye ca raṇe rājan satyam etad bravīmi te ||
kuśaly ahaṃ kuśalinaṃ samāsādya dhanaṃjayam ||
hate jayadrathe rājan punar eṣyāmi te 'ntikam ||
I would fight even the triple world — with gods, asuras, and men — sent by you, O lord of men; what then to speak of this so feeble army? And Suyodhana's army I shall now press on every side and conquer in battle, O king — this truth I tell you. Safe myself, having come to Dhananjaya, safe as well, once Jayadratha is slain, O king, I shall come again into your presence.

Satyaki vows to return — 'kuśalī… kuśalinaṃ samāsādya', safe himself, coming to the safe one: devotion measures success not by its own glory but by the wholeness of the beloved. It is significant that his promise concerns not victory for himself but a happy reunion with his friend. The verse teaches that love measures the outcome of an undertaking by the safety of those held dear: for a faithful heart the chief reward is not triumph but that both he and the one to whom he hastens remain unharmed and meet again.
