सव्यसाची पुरो ऽभ्येति द्रोणानीकाय भारत ॥
संसक्तं सात्यकिं ज्ञात्वा बहुभिः कुरुपुंगवैः ॥
तत्र गच्छन्तु बहवः प्रवरा रथसत्तमाः ॥
यावत् पार्थो न जानाति सात्यकिं बहुभिर् वृतम् ॥
ते त्वरध्वं यथा शूराः शराणां मोक्षणे भृशम् ॥
यथा तूर्णं व्रजत्य् एष परलोकाय माधवः ॥
कर्णस्य मतम् आज्ञाय पुत्रस् ते प्राह सौबलम् ॥
यथेन्द्रः समरे राजन् प्राह विष्णुं यशस्विनम् ॥

"Savyasachin [Arjuna] goes ahead toward Drona's host, O Bharata, having learned that Satyaki is caught up in battle with many bulls among the Kurus. Let many of the finest, the best warriors go there, while the Partha has not learned that Satyaki is surrounded by many. Make haste, O heroes, diligently in the loosing of arrows, so that he — Madhava [Satyaki] — may quickly depart to the other world." Having understood Karna's design, your son [Duryodhana] spoke to Saubala [Shakuni], O king, as Indra in battle spoke to glorious Vishnu.

Karna's design is to slay Satyaki before Arjuna can arrive: victory won by haste and numbers, not by valor one against one. It is telling that Duryodhana is likened to Indra, and Shakuni to Vishnu — a lofty comparison covering a dishonorable scheme. The verse teaches that fine words and grand comparisons often clothe an unjust deed; and stately rhetoric put in the service of deceit only throws into relief the baseness of the plan it adorns.
