संजय उवाच
ततो दुःशासनो राजञ् शैनेयं समुपाद्रवत् ॥
किरञ् शरसहस्राणि पर्जन्य इव वृष्टिमान् ॥
स विद्ध्वा सात्यकिं षष्ट्या तथा षोडशभिः शरैः ॥
नाकम्पयत् स्थितं युद्धे मैनाकम् इव पर्वतम् ॥
स तु दुःशासनं वीरः सायकैर् आवृणोद् भृशम् ॥
मशकं समनुप्राप्तम् ऊर्णनाभिर् इवोर्णया ॥

tato duḥśāsano rājañ śaineyaṃ samupādravat ||
kirañ śarasahasrāṇi parjanya iva vṛṣṭimān ||
sa viddhvā sātyakiṃ ṣaṣṭyā tathā ṣoḍaśabhiḥ śaraiḥ ||
nākampayat sthitaṃ yuddhe mainākam iva parvatam ||
sa tu duḥśāsanaṃ vīraḥ sāyakair āvṛṇod bhṛśam ||
maśakaṃ samanuprāptam ūrṇanābhir ivorṇayā ||
Then Duhshasana, O king, rushed at Shaineya, scattering thousands of arrows like a rain-laden cloud. He pierced Satyaki with sixty and also with sixteen arrows, yet did not shake him as he stood in the battle, no more than one shakes Mount Mainaka. But he, the hero, thoroughly enveloped Duhshasana with arrows, as a spider envelops a mosquito that has flown into its web.

Satyaki -- "na akampayat... mainākam iva parvatam" -- is unshaken as Mount Mainaka: his steadiness stands unmoved beneath the rain of arrows. And he wraps the enemy, "ūrṇanābhir iva ūrṇayā," as a spider does a mosquito: what seems fearsome to others is mere small prey to him. It is notable that firmness and superiority are shown here through two images at once. The verse teaches that one unshaken in spirit stands as a mountain under any onslaught, and one who appears fearsome proves small before him, entangled without effort.
