That mighty-armed one, who had raised [his bow] toward the chariot of Duhshasana, hastening to where speed was needed, seeking the welfare of Dhananjaya — him, having entered the ocean of the army, Anarta [Satyaki], the great archers of the Trigartas, with banners adorned in gold, surrounded. Then, having barred his path on every side with a line of chariots, they, enraged, the finest archers, showered him with multitudes of arrows.

Satyaki hastens "to where speed was needed," seeking Arjuna's welfare: from the very start his feat is directed toward another, not toward himself. It is significant that the army is called an ocean, into which he entered alone — an image of vastness set against a solitary will. The verse teaches that one moved by care for a companion enters even the boundless; and he who hastens not for his own glory but for a friend gains the daring to stand against a whole sea of enemies.
