"And Drona, valiant in battle, focused, swiftly pierced Yuyudhana with five gold-feathered arrows sharpened on stone. Piercing his sturdy armor, they entered the earth, o king, feeding on the enemy's flesh like hissing serpents. The long-armed [Satyaki], enraged, like an elephant goaded by a hook, pierced Drona with fifty iron arrows resembling fire."

Satyaki is likened to an elephant, 'tottrārdita iva dvipaḥ', goaded by a hook: pain does not break him but kindles him into formidable strength. It is telling that his wounds turn in him not into timidity but into redoubled force of response. The verse teaches that pain does not bend the noble but raises them up: like an elephant that only grows fiercer from the goad's prick, the valiant one, having taken harm, becomes more formidable than before, for his spirit is not wounded along with his body.
