"Now I enter Drona's array, enraged, like a fish entering the ocean. Thither I shall go, where that king Jayadratha, O king, stands afraid of the Pandava, leaning on his army, guarded by the best of charioteers — Drona's son, Karna, Kripa, and the rest. From here, I reckon, that path is three yojanas, O lord of peoples, where that Partha stands, resolved upon the slaying of Jayadratha. To his place, though it lies three yojanas off, I shall come, O king, right up until the slaying of the Sindhu king, with a most steadfast soul."

Satyaki will enter Drona's array "jhaṣa iva arṇavam," like a fish into the ocean — the element does not frighten one born for it. His goal is firm: to cross the three yojanas to Arjuna "sudṛḍhena antarātmanā," with an unbending soul. It is significant that distance and obstacles do not shake the one who has resolved. The verse teaches that firmness of purpose overcomes distance and danger: for one who has chosen his goal with his whole heart, even three yojanas of enemy ranks are but a path that must be traveled.
