We, wishing to resist, rushed upon them there; then a great noise arose at Yuyudhana's chariot. Your son's great army, O great king, shaken, was split into a hundred parts by the Sātvata. As it was being torn apart, Shini's grandson, the great warrior, crushed seven heroes, great archers, in the front rank.

Satyaki alone splits an entire army "śatadhā", into a hundred parts: where strength rests on truth and love, one man overcomes a multitude. It is telling that his fearsomeness comes not from ferocity but from direction -- he presses toward a friend. The verse teaches that a drive sanctified by duty makes strength unconquerable: one moved by love and by a righteous man's command cuts through obstacles before which even a great army would falter.
