Him, rushing [upon him] suddenly, the finest elephant of the Magadhan, Satyaki held back, as a shore [holds back] the surging ocean. Seeing the elephant held back by the finest arrows of Shaineya, Jalasandha, the mighty, grew angry in the battle, o king. Then the enraged great archer Jalasandha pierced the grandson of Shini [in] the broad chest with arrows, heavily dealing [death].

Again Satyaki, "velā iva udvṛttam arṇavam," like a shore holds back a raging surge: steadfastness meets fury. It is telling that the image of shore and ocean recurs, affirming a law — unruly force breaks against the unshaken. The verse teaches that a frenzied onslaught should be met not with equal frenzy but with firm standing: as a shore takes the blows of the churning sea and remains, so one steadfast in spirit holds back the enemy not by savagery but by unshakable constancy.
