Satyaki said:
A person speaks according to the nature of their soul. Similarly, the way you express yourself reflects your inner self.
There are indeed brave men and also cowards. Both these strong sides are evident among men.
In a single family, both a eunuch and a great warrior can be born, just as a single tree can have both fruitful and fruitless branches.
I do not envy your words, O wielder of the plough, but I envy those who listen to your words, O Mādhava.
How can one speak even a small fault of Dharmaraja without fear in the midst of the assembly?
Having summoned the great soul, the experts in dice, having conquered, how can there be a victory of righteousness among them according to faith, for the one ignorant of dice?
If Kunti's son is playing in the house with his brothers and they are approached, they may conquer, and that would be rightfully theirs.
Having deceitfully conquered the king, who was always devoted to his warrior duties, what ultimate good can they achieve?
How should he bow down here, having made a supreme promise, now freed from exile and having attained his ancestral position?
If Yudhishthira desires others' wealth, then he absolutely does not deserve to beg from others.
How are they righteous and not desiring to conquer the kingdom? It is said that the sons of Kunti, having renounced their dwelling, are known in this way.
Persuaded by the noble Bhishma and Drona, they are unwilling to return the ancestral wealth to the Pandavas.
I will subdue them with sharp arrows in battle and force them to fall at the feet of the noble son of Kunti.
Then they will not decide to bow down to the wise and will proceed with their ministers towards the abode of Yama.
Indeed, your warrior Yuyudhana, in his fury and eagerness to fight, is as unstoppable as the speed of a thunderbolt, which even mountains can withstand.
Who indeed can withstand Arjuna, the wielder of the Gandiva bow, or Krishna, the one with the discus weapon, in battle? Who can withstand me, or Bhima, the unassailable?
The two, like Yama and strong-bowed, greatly radiant, who would dare to face Dhrishtadyumna, the son of Prishata, in battle?
These five sons of the Pandavas and Draupadi, who increase fame, are equal in stature and valor to the Pandavas and are intoxicated with pride.
Abhimanyu, the great archer, who was difficult even for the gods to withstand; Gada, Pradyumna, Samba, and others like Kala, Vajra, and Anala, who were comparable in prowess.
We, along with Shakuni and Karna, will slay the son of Dhritarashtra in battle and then crown the Pandava.
There is no sin in killing aggressors who are enemies; however, it is both unrighteous and disgraceful to beg from one's enemies.
Fulfill his heartfelt desire without delay. Let the Pandava receive the kingdom entrusted by Dhritarashtra.
Today, Yudhishthira, the son of Pandu, may either obtain the kingdom or all will be slain in battle and rest on the earth.
