And Shaineya [Satyaki], taking up another bow that shone like a rainbow, wounded the son of the suta with sixty-four arrows and roared like a lion. Cutting through Karna's bow with two well-aimed bhalla-arrows, he then drove three arrows into both of Karna's arms and his chest. Then Duryodhana, Drona, the king, and Jayadratha drew the sinking Radheya out of Satyaki's ocean. And Dhrishtadyumna, Bhima, the son of Subhadra, Arjuna, Nakula, and Sahadeva guarded Satyaki in the fight.

Karna 'sinks in Satyaki's ocean' — and his own side hastens to pull him out; Satyaki, meanwhile, is guarded by six warriors. This shows that in a moment of being overwhelmed, neither side abandons its hero: the Kauravas rescue Karna, and the Pandavas shield Satyaki. Mutual rescue operates in both camps. It is telling that even the most formidable are never left alone — a circle of comrades guards each of them. The verse teaches that even the mightiest needs companions, and an army is wise not to abandon its own in distress; that rescuing a drowning hero is a duty recognized equally by the righteous and the unrighteous; and that in this mutual bond — saving one's own, shielding one's own — shows itself the best thing that unites even warring camps: loyalty to comradeship, without which even the greatest valor would remain defenseless.
