Then, brandishing his bow with golden fittings, the great warrior Satyaki swiftly rushed at your son, the great warrior, the king of all the world, the best of all bearers of weapons, and struck him deeply with arrows. Then a battle arose between the two: loosing sharp arrows and fitting others to their bows, the two great warriors made each other invisible in the fight.

Satyaki goes straight for Duryodhana — the root of the strife: the devoted one aims at the very source of injustice. The two conceal each other in clouds of arrows, "adṛśyam anyonyam." It is telling that in the thick of battle they appear equal, though they stand for opposite things. The verse teaches that outward equality between fighters does not equalize their deeds: both the righteous man and the instigator of injustice may meet as equals in strength, yet they differ in truth — and so the outcome is decided not by weapons but by which side dharma stands on.
