Thereafter O Bharata, Kesava and Dhananjaya, both of illustrious soul, beheld Satyaki of prowess incapable of being thwarted, in the track of the Kurus and thus within the range of the shafts of Drona, Karna and Kripa. Then both of them applauded Satyaki of undiminishing fame saying 'excellent,'-him who was then destroying the celestial weapons of all his focs. Then Kesava and Dhananjaya dashed upon the Kaurava warriors.
चरन्तं रथमार्गेषु सात्यकिं सत्यविक्रमम्। द्रोणकर्णान्तरगतं कृपस्यापि च भारत॥ अपश्यतां महात्मानौ विष्वक्सेनधनंजयौ। अपूजयेतां वार्ष्णेयं ब्रुवाणौ साधु साध्विति॥ दिव्यान्यस्राणि सर्वेषां युधि निघ्नन्तमच्युतम्। अभिपत्य ततः सेनां विष्वक्सेनधनंजयौ॥
