He, having caught his breath as if for a moment, urged on his good horses; fearless, he roused exceedingly great fear among the foes. And Yuyudhana, o lord of kings, breaking out from Drona's ranks, sped on, hastening and swift, toward the great host of the Kambojas. Held back there by many heroes, by mighty warriors, Satyaki, of true valor, did not waver then, o king.

Satyaki, surrounded by many, "na cacāla," does not waver: his firmness remains unchanged even in the thick of enemies. It is telling that this unshakeability is a constant quality of "satyavikrama," one of true valor. The verse teaches that genuine valor does not depend on circumstance: encircled or free, hard-pressed or triumphant, the true hero remains equal to himself; it is steadiness of spirit, not ease of position, that marks one whose valor is true.
