Having slain your various armies, the Sātvata entered your army, having strongly routed the host. Then, by that same path by which Dhananjaya had gone, Satyaki wished to go, but was held back by Drona. Meeting the son of Bharadvaja, Yuyudhana, O worthy one, did not retreat, enraged, like the sea does not retreat from the shore.

Before Drona, Satyaki "velām iva jalāśayaḥ", like the sea before the shore, does not retreat: he meets the fearsome barrier with calm firmness. It is telling that one set on a goal does not turn away even before the greatest of adversaries. The verse teaches that firmness of purpose is not broken even by an encounter with the mightiest: as the sea beats against the shore without retreating, so one who has resolved in his heart holds to his path even before one who seems unconquerable.
