शरैः सुतीक्ष्णैः शतशो ऽभ्यविध्यत्; सुदर्शनः सात्वतमुख्यम् आजौ ॥

Sudarshana pierced the chief of the Satvatas in battle with keenly whetted arrows by the hundreds; but those arrows, not yet arrived, the bull of Shini's line cut down with his own arrows. Likewise Satyaki, equal to Shakra -- whatever arrows he hurled at Sudarshana, those Sudarshana split into two and three pieces with excellent arrows, standing on his finest chariot.

Both cut down each other's arrows still in flight: equal skill meets equal skill. It is telling that even here the clash of the accomplished yields no easy advantage. The verse teaches that between equals in mastery there is no unfair gain: every design meets an equal counter, and in the end victory belongs not to superior hand but to what stands above it -- the higher order and the rightness of the cause.
