"Then again, with goat-faced ones, [with] iron in hand, [with] spears in hand -- Daradas, Khasha-Tanganas, Ambashthas and Kunindas -- [each] stone hurled at him from a rain of stones on every side, that Satyaki pierced in return with iron arrows, watching keenly, the mighty one. [From] the sound of mountains being split [in] the sky by sharp arrows, O king, elephants, horses, chariots, and footmen all fled."

Satyaki splits crags in mid-air, "adrīṇāṃ bhidyamānānām antarikṣe": the very roar of the shattering stones puts the enemy to flight. It is telling that the sound of his might alone strikes terror. The verse teaches that the dread of valor precedes the blow itself: where strength is so great that it splits crags in the sky, there the enemy flees from its very thunder -- for a terrified heart does not wait for the strike to falter.
