Other brave men of the Shurasenas held him back in battle, restraining him with multitudes of arrows, as one restrains a rutting elephant with goads. Them, though straining, Satyaki repelled in a moment; then he, of inconceivable strength and valor, fought with the Kalingas. And having overcome that hard-to-pass army of the Kalingas, the mighty-armed one drew near then to Partha Dhananjaya.

Nation after nation — Shurasenas, Kalingas — rise in Satyaki's path, and each he overcomes: devotion knows no barrier. It is significant that his goal remains ever the same — to draw near to Arjuna: through every obstruction he goes toward his friend. The verse teaches that unwavering fidelity breaks through any hindrance; and he whose heart is set upon another overcomes host after host not for the sake of victories, but for the sake of meeting.
