But he, the mighty archer, struck him back with five sharp, gold-feathered, vulture-plumed, straight-flying arrows. Duhshasana, as if smiling, O descendant of Bharata, pierced Satyaki with three and again with five. But Shaineya, piercing your son with five swift arrows and cutting his bow in the battle, made for Arjuna, astonishing all.

Satyaki does not linger over dealing with Duhshasana but, having cut his bow, "arjunam yayau," heads for Arjuna: his purpose steadily guides him. It is notable that he is captivated neither by vengeance nor by victory. The verse teaches that one set on what matters most does not trade it for lesser scores along the way: keeping his purpose in mind, he passes even a sworn enemy by without delay, for the task entrusted to him is dearer than any triumph over an opponent.
