Where is Satyaki..a great worrier of mahabharat - Page 3

satyaki many times took kurukshetra as his personal battle when nowhere his goods were connected to kurukshetra all he did from his love and devotion to arjun, krishna and pandavas that's the thing i loved about him

satyaki was in brc, when krishna went for peace mission satyaki was with him , when krishna took karna in a lonely place he asked satyaki and daruka to wait as far i rem

I think Satyaki was the fourth best warrior on the Pandava side, and the third best archer.

who were better than him? Arjuna, Bheema and? Abhimanyu?

In warriors he was the fourth, I placed him after Arjuna, Bhima & Abhimanyu.

And in archers - I placed him after Arjuna and Abhimanyu.

even satyaki's sons were killed in kuruksetra ?

I'd place him ahead of Abhimanyu: it wasn't for nothing that he survived the war. Also, he defeated Karna in battle, whereas Abhimanyu's bow got broken by Karna.

Yeah, 10 of his sons participated in the war, and were all killed on day 5 by Bhurishrava. Then a big battle started b/w Satyaki & Bhurishrava where Satyaki got the worst of it.

Satyaki was inferior to Bhurishrava: the Pandavas should have had a different warrior taking on Bhurishrava, such as Nakul or Virata for the bulk of the days

so satyaki had no son left

No, he did. He had 1 or more younger sons who didn't participate in the war. One of them - Asanga - was installed by Arjun as the king of the Satwatas in a principality near the Saraswati, when Arjun escorted everyone out of Dwarka.

Asanga was made king of the Satwatas. Bali, Krishna's son-in-law & Kritavarma's son, was made king of Martikavat & the Andhakas. Vajra, Anirudha's son, succeeded Ugrasena as king of the Vrishnis. The Yadava coalition, that precariously existed under Krishna, was broken up by Arjun so that they could live separately but peacefully

are yadavas confederacy like later day ganarajya confederacy like vaishali confederacy ?

first day of war has finished and in second day of war Satyaki plays a very important role in the battle but till now we have no information about satyaki

FIRST DAY

When the battle commenced, Bhishma went through the Pandava army wreaking havoc wherever he went but Abhimanyu, Arjuna's son, seeing this went straight at Bhishma, defeated his bodyguards and directly attacked the commander of the Kaurava forces. The Pandavas suffered numerous losses and were defeated at the end of the first day. virata's sons,Uttara and Sweta, were slain by Shalya and bhismaKrishna consoled the distraught Yudhisthira saying that eventually victory would be his.

Day 2

The second day of the war commenced with a confident Kaurava army facing the Pandavas. Arjuna, realising that something needed to be done quickly to reverse the Pandava losses, decided that he must try to kill Bhishma. Krishna skillfully located Bhishma's chariot and steered Arjuna toward him. Arjuna tried to engage Bhishma in a duel, but the Kaurava soldiers placed around Bhishma to protect him attacked Arjuna to try to prevent him from directly engaging Bhishma. Arjuna and Bhishma fought a fierce battle that raged for hours.Drona and dristayaumnsimilarly engaged in a duel during which Drona broke Dhristadyumna's bow numerous times.Bhima intervened and rescued Dhristadyumna. Duryodhana sent the Kalinga forces to attack Bhima and most of them lost their lives at his hands. Bhishma immediately came to relieve the battered Kalinga forces.Satyaki, who was assisting Bhima, shot at Bhishma's charioteer and killed him. Bhishma's horses, with no one to control them, bolted carrying Bhishma away from the battlefield. The Kaurava army had suffered great losses at the end of the second day.

in KMG Satyaki was there since the opening attack, he engaged Kritavarma.. and around the death of Sveta, Satyaki and Dhristhadtyumna tried to back up Sveta but Bhishma beat them from the ground.
