The sage said to Janmajeya - Let me tell you about Satyaki a bit.
Once Krishna was performing a sacrifice for pleasing the departed forefathers. He invited many kings for the ceremony. Of the invited kings was a king called Somdatta. Seeing this angered Shini, who was a uncle of Krishna and the brother of Vasudeva. Shini said how could Somdatta be there? He was not fit to be invited? Somdatta also started abusing Shini. Shini got up and grabbed Somdatta by his hair. He then started slapping Somdatta till his teeth started shaking.
The insulted Somdatta left. He went to the forest to pray for revenge. He prayed to Shiva who appeared before him. He asked Shiva to bless him with a son who would be able to avenge him. Shiva said a son would be born who would win over the son of Shini.
This was Bhurishrava, who with the blessing of Shiva, was able to capture Satyaki.

on the 5th day of the kurukhethra war, Bhurisravas killed all 10 children of Sathyaki. And on 14th day of the war they had a big fight and Bhrisravas made life of Sathyaki miserable, though at the end Sathyaki killed him. facebook.com/bhagawatgitathrissur.
