Then, taking up another bow, your son, O lord of men, pierced Satyaki with ten arrows and let out a lion's roar. Satyaki, enraged in the battle, bewildered your son and struck him in the chest with arrows like tongues of flame. Duhshasana then struck Satyaki back with twenty, and the Satvata struck him in the chest.

The fight goes on breast to breast, blow for blow: neither yields. But Satyaki fights mindful of his purpose, while Duhshasana fights out of wounded malice. It is notable that an outwardly equal clash differs in the spirit of the fighters. The verse teaches that a likeness of blows does not equalize hearts: one strikes in fulfillment of duty, the other out of vengeful fury, and though their arrows resemble each other, the outcome differs, for it is decided not by strength of arm but by the rightness of the cause.
