The heroic Gandharas, together with Saubala and a great host, surrounded Satyaki and Abhimanyu in battle. There the enraged Saubalakas, with weapons of various kinds, shattered the excellent chariot of Varshneya to pieces. While the great danger continued, Satyaki, leaving his chariot, swiftly mounted Abhimanyu's chariot. The two of them, joined upon a single ratha, swiftly scattered Saubala's army with sharp, well-jointed arrows. Drona and Bhishma, straining in battle, destroyed Dharmaraja's army with sharp arrows fletched with kanka feathers. Then the king, son of Dharma, and both Pandavas, the sons of Madri, in full view of all the armies, charged at Drona's formation. There a great, tumultuous battle took place, hair-raising, like the ancient dreadful war between the gods and the asuras."

Satyaki and Abhimanyu end up on a single chariot, and this underscores the resourcefulness of the Pandavas' allies: the loss of a ratha does not mean the end of the fight. Where the bond between warriors is alive, a way to keep fighting is quickly found.
