Bhimasena had promised the killing of your sons, and at the second game of dice Partha had proclaimed the killing of Karna. In killing him they made their effort, with Karna at their head, then — and they could not slay him, Satyaki, the finest of warriors. And Drauni, and Kritavarman, and likewise other great chariot-warriors, were defeated by a single bow — by the hundreds, bulls among kshatriyas. Satyaki, tormentor of foes, is equal in valor to the two Krishnas — be it Krishna in the world, or Partha, the bow-bearer.

The vows are apportioned: to Bhima, the sons of Dhritarashtra; to Arjuna, Karna — and so Satyaki does not claim what is not his. It is notable that his bow alone overcomes hundreds: valor equal to the two Krishnas needs no numbers. The verse teaches that in an army united each honors the other's portion; and one who, though able, leaves to a comrade what is assigned to him joins the greatest might with the greatest self-mastery.
