Arjuna entrusts to Satyaki what is dearest to him: "yathā mayā guptaḥ tvayā guptaḥ bhavet" — "as I would guard him, so guard him yourself." Such trust is the highest honor. Only then, having handed the care to one he trusts, can he act "anapekṣaḥ", without a care. Tellingly, even the greatest warrior does not go into battle without securing his rear. The verse teaches that one can fulfill one's own duty fully only by reliably entrusting the rest to someone trustworthy: sharing the burden with one trusted as oneself frees one for the essential task, and the wise go to their trial having left what is dear in safe hands.
