[Dhritarashtra:] "That meeting of Varshneya [Satyaki] with the hero Karna — when Bhurishravas is slain and Saindhava struck down, and Satyaki too is without a chariot — what chariot did he mount? And the two Panchalya guardians of the wheels — tell me of that, Sanjaya." [Sanjaya:] "Well then, I shall describe to you as it happened in the great battle; listen, having become steadfast, to your own evil deed."

Sanjaya again prefaces his account with a reminder: all this is the fruit of "your own evil deed." It is telling that he bids the king "become steadfast," for it is hard to hear of a calamity one has oneself brought about. The verse teaches that a messenger of truth does not flatter even a sovereign; and one who wishes to know the course of events must first steady himself, to bear the reminder of his own guilt woven into every turn of the tale.
