And what are these charioteers, o king, seen with golden banners — these called Durvaranas, the Kambojas, if you have heard of them; heroes, trained, established in the science of the bow, and tightly bound together, wishing each other well. And the akshauhinis of the son of Dhritarashtra, o Bharata, inflamed with fury, stand poised for my sake, guarded by the heroes of the Kurus, vigilant, o great king, turned against me myself. Them I shall crush, as fire does blades of grass.

Satyaki likens himself to fire, for which the enemy akshauhinis are like straw. His confidence is no idle boast, but the fruit of a trust entrusted to him and of love for his friend. It is telling that calm strength does not fear numbers. The verse teaches that firm resolve, grounded in a rightful charge, turns a fearsome multitude into a small thing: for a spirit kindled by duty and love, hosts of enemies are but dry grass before fire.
