[Dhritarashtra:] "When that arrow was cut off and Dhrishtadyumna was freed by that hero of the Vrishnis, Yuyudhana [Satyaki], O Sanjaya — what did the impatient great archer, the best of all who bear arms, the tiger among men, do in battle against the grandson of Shini?"

The blind king asks about a single duel, plucking it out of the general chaos. Tellingly, his attention is drawn to the meeting of two of the greatest — Drona and Satyaki. The verse teaches that even amid boundless slaughter the eye seeks the personal: behind the impersonal mass of battle lie individual fates and encounters, and the listener longs to know not of the countless fallen, but of the fortunes of particular figures, for in them the war acquires a human dimension.
