सर्वेष्व् अपि च योधेषु चिन्तयञ् शिनिपुंगव ॥
त्वत्तः सुहृत्तमं कं चिन् नाभिजानामि सात्यके ॥
यो हि प्रीतमना नित्यं यश् च नित्यम् अनुव्रतः ॥
स कार्ये सांपराये तु नियोज्य इति मे मतिः ॥
यथा च केशवो नित्यं पाण्डवानां परायणम् ॥
तथा त्वम् अपि वार्ष्णेय कृष्णतुल्यपराक्रमः ॥
सो ऽहं भारं समाधास्ये त्वयि तं वोढुम् अर्हसि ॥
अभिप्रायं च मे नित्यं न वृथा कर्तुम् अर्हसि ॥
स त्वं भ्रातुर् वयस्यस्य गुरोर् अपि च संयुगे ॥
कुरु कृच्छ्रे सहायार्थम् अर्जुनस्य नरर्षभ ॥

"Reflecting among all warriors, O bull of the line of Shini, I know not, O Satyaki, of anyone who is a better friend than you. And as Keshava is ever the refuge of the Pandavas, so too are you, O Varshneya, equal to Krishna in valor. I shall lay that burden upon you — be pleased to bear it; and you must not bring my wish to nothing. For Arjuna's sake — your friend and peer, who is also your teacher in battle — perform, in this distress, the deed of help, O bull among men."

Yudhishthira places Satyaki alongside Keshava: kṛṣṇatulyaparākramaḥ, equal to Krishna in valor — the highest praise for a devoted one. And Arjuna is called Satyaki's guru — his teacher in arms: to serve a friend is also to honor a teacher. It is telling that the bonds of friendship, discipleship, and valor are woven into a single duty. The verse teaches that true devotion unites love and reverence: to serve a dear friend who is at the same time one's teacher is a double duty, and to fulfill it in the hour of his distress is the highest honor.
