After talks break down, Satyaki leads the Sivi and Vrishni army to the Pandava's camp.

While Satyaki, along with others like Chekitana and Syenajita joins the Pandavas, Krishna promises his army to Duryodhana.

[citation needed] As Arjuna is being attacked from multiple sides, Satyaki appears to give aid.

After a long and bloody battle, Satyaki, already exhausted from fighting Drona, begins to falter, and Bhurisravas pummels him and drags him across the battlefield.

[citation needed] In the Kurukshetra war, Satyaki and Kritavarma were two important Yadava heroes who fought on the opposing sides.

He is mentioned by Dalhana in Timir and Annantvat (Sushruta Uttartantra) and by Chakrapani in Netraroga (Charak).

[citation needed] After the Kurukshetra war, Gandhari curses Krishna that his clan will be destroyed 36 years later in a fratricidal massacre.

During the 36th year, the Yadavas retire to Prabhāsa where they are allotted temporary residences and start reveling and drinking.

Inebriated, Satyaki laughs at and taunts Kritavarma for his actions on the night of the 18th day of battle.

Warriors start taking sides depending on who their clans had fought for during the war; wine flows and tempers flare.

Enraged, Satyaki gets up from the ground, and to his shock he discovers that the grass he pulls up from his clenched hands has turned into weapons (thanks to a rishi's curse).
