Then, having deprived him of his chariot, Satyaki, of true valor, harried his army with arrows of smooth joints. That host, tormented by the arrows of Shaineya, broke; then Satyaki, of true valor, pressed on swiftly. Listen, o king, to what the mighty one did [in] your armies, having passed, o great king, through the great ocean of Drona's array.

Satyaki does not linger over his triumph over Kritavarman, but "prāyāt tvaritaḥ," hastens onward: his goal is Arjuna, not a private victory. It is telling that one set on the essential is not captivated by intermediate successes. The verse teaches that fidelity to a goal does not let one revel in passing victories: whoever remembers why he set out does not linger over what is already overcome, but presses on toward what is entrusted to him, without spending himself on the glory of side skirmishes.
