"Their drivers, these Kiratas, furious in battle, skilled in the training of elephants, and all born of fire — these were all vanquished in battle by Savyasachin, and now, for my sake, they have made ready, obedient to Duryodhana. Having broken through them with arrows, O king, these Kiratas furious in battle, I shall follow after the Pandava, who is set upon the slaying of the Sindhu king."

Satyaki calmly enumerates even the formidable fire-born Kiratas as merely an obstacle on his path: all of this is only what must be "bhittvā," broken through, to reach his goal. It is significant that the enemies' numbers and ferocity do not distract him from his single aim — to reach Arjuna. The verse teaches that concentration on a goal turns every obstacle into a mere stage of the journey: for one who knows where he is going, even the most fearsome barriers are only what must be passed through.
