Duhshasana, having stationed his own army, unrestrained and enraged, the hero, advanced against Satyaki, the foremost of chariot-fighters in battle. I, with my own army, clad in sturdy armor, with four hundred great archers, held back Chekitana. Shakuni, with his army, held back the son of Madri (Nakula or Sahadeva) with seven hundred Gandharas armed with bows, spears, arrows, and swords.

Here even Sanjaya himself appears among the combatants: "svakena aham anikena… cekitanam avarayam" — I, with my own army, held back Chekitana. The witness of the battle is also its fighter. It is telling that the narrator does not exempt himself from the common lot of war. The verse teaches that in days of universal strife no one remains a mere onlooker: even the storyteller, called to relate the battle, fights within it; the nation's calamity draws everyone in, leaving no bystanders where a whole people is perishing.
