"He, having humbled with arrows Drona, and also Bhoja and Kritavarman, comes to Phalguna — Satyaki. Seeking to please the King of Dharma, having slain the finest among warriors, both brave and skilled in weapons, comes to Phalguna — Satyaki. Having accomplished the most difficult feat amid the army, the mighty one, desiring to see you, comes to the Pandava — Satyaki. Having drawn many great warriors, with the teacher [Drona] foremost, into battle with a single chariot, he comes, o Partha — Satyaki."

Krishna's praise repeats as a refrain "comes Satyaki" — the feat is honored not as self-glory but as service: all is done "to please the King of Dharma" and "desiring to see you." It is significant that the greatest deed is accomplished for the sake of meeting, not for the sake of fame. The verse teaches that valor directed toward others is nobler than any other; and a hero who fights for his king and friend earns praise that one who fights for himself could never win.
