Alas! impelled by rage and covetousness, we are here today for fighting with each other, O scion of the Satvata race. Then O king, Satyaki conversant in the use of great weapons, taking up some sharp arrows smilingly replied to king Duryodhana who was thus speaking to him, “This is no assembly, O prince, nor the house of our preceptor where in days gone by, we sported smiling together."
किमन्यत्रोधलोभाभ्यां युद्धमेवाद्य सात्वत। तं तथावादिनं तत्र सात्यकि: प्रत्यभाषत॥ प्रहसन् विशिखांस्तीक्ष्णानुद्यम्य परमास्रवित्। नाचार्यस्य निवेशनम्॥
