Having touched the hero's cup, seized by great joy, his ardor doubled, like blazing fire, blessed by the brahmins, in armor, richly adorned, [greeted] with parched grain, perfumes, and garlands, and welcomed by maidens — having honored the two feet of Yudhishthira with joined palms, kissed by him on the head, [Satyaki] mounted the great chariot.

Satyaki honors the king's feet, and in return is ‘kissed on the head’ by him — the ancient sign of an elder's love: blessing rises and descends. It is telling that the exploit begins with an exchange of humility and tenderness. The verse teaches that one setting out on a righteous deed is strengthened by the love of elders: to bow to the feet and be lovingly blessed upon the head is to go forth not by one's own strength alone, but shielded by the affection and the send-off of those one honors.
