Сатьяки
अद्य मे क्षिप्रहस्तस्य क्षिपतः सायकोत्तमान् ॥
अलातचक्रप्रतिमं धनुर् द्रक्ष्यन्ति कौरवाः ॥
मत्सायकचिताङ्गानां रुधिरं स्रवतां बहु ॥
सैनिकानां वधं दृष्ट्वा संतप्स्यति सुयोधनः ॥
अद्य मे क्रुद्धरूपस्य निघ्नतश् च वरान् वरान् ॥
द्विर् अर्जुनम् इमं लोकं मंस्यते स सुयोधनः ॥
adya me kṣiprahastasya kṣipataḥ sāyakottamān ||
alātacakrapratimaṃ dhanur drakṣyanti kauravāḥ ||
matsāyakacitāṅgānāṃ rudhiraṃ sravatāṃ bahu ||
sainikānāṃ vadhaṃ dṛṣṭvā saṃtapsyati suyodhanaḥ ||
adya me kruddharūpasya nighnataś ca varān varān ||
dvir arjunam imaṃ lokaṃ maṃsyate sa suyodhanaḥ ||
"Today the Kauravas shall behold my bow, [in] my swift hand, casting the finest arrows, like a wheel of fire. Seeing the slaughter of the soldiers, [whose] bodies are strewn with my arrows, [whose] blood flows abundantly, Suyodhana shall grieve. Today, [seeing] me terrible in aspect, smiting the best of the best, that Suyodhana shall reckon this world [as having] two Arjunas."

Satyaki foresees that Suyodhana will consider the world as holding "dvir arjunam" -- two Arjunas: the disciple, having manifested the teacher's art, becomes indistinguishable from him. It is telling that the highest praise for a disciple is to be mistaken for the master. The verse teaches that perfect assimilation of the teaching makes the disciple like the teacher: where knowledge is fully transmitted and shown forth in deed, even the enemy cannot tell pupil from master -- and in this lies the glory of both.
