As he was fitting arrows, Satyaki quickly severed the bow with the arrow already fitted, and showered him with arrows. He, cruelly pierced, shaken, withdrew to another chariot — Duryodhana, O great king, hard pressed by the arrows of Dasharha [Satyaki]. Having recovered, your son attacked Satyaki again, releasing nets of arrows toward the chariot of Yuyudhana. Likewise Satyaki too released arrows toward the chariot of Duryodhana without pause, O king; a melee arose.

Duryodhana, hard pressed, withdraws, but 'having recovered' returns to the fight: the persistence of the unrighteous is no less than the persistence of the righteous. It is telling that even one being overcome does not yield. The verse teaches that steadfastness itself is neutral toward rightness: both the righteous and the guilty possess it equally; and the tragedy is that Duryodhana's valor, worthy of a better cause, is squandered on persistence in wrong, prolonging the ruinous strife.
