And all gazed upon that superhuman battle of those two best of men, O king, and upon the charioteering of Daruka. All were astonished at the charioteer, standing upon the chariot, the Kashyapeya [Daruka], with his wheelings forward and back, his circles, his turns. And those dwelling in the sky — gods, gandharvas, danavas — were most attentive to watch the battle of Karna and Shainya. For a friend's sake those two were eager, rivaling, fierce in battle — Karna, resembling an immortal, and Yuyudhana Satyaki.

Not only the warriors but the charioteer Daruka too astonishes all with his skill: a feat is the work of many hands, and the charioteer shares honor equally with the warrior. It is notable that both fight "for a friend's sake" (mitrarthe): here too the moving force is not gain but devotion. The verse teaches that the grandeur of a battle is woven from the harmony of many services; and valor nourished by love for a friend rises so high that even the gods bow to watch.
