संदष्टौष्ठमुखैः पृथ्वीं दैत्यानां सोऽभ्यपूरयत् । ततो निःशेषितप्रायां विलोक्य स्वां चमूं तदा
saṃdaṣṭauṣṭhamukhaiḥ pṛthvīṃ daityānāṃ so'bhyapūrayat | tato niḥśeṣitaprāyāṃ vilokya svāṃ camūṃ tadā
وكان الديتْيَة يعضّون شفاههم ووجوههم من الغيظ، فملأ الأرض بهم؛ ثم لما رأى جيشه قد قارب الفناء، نظر في تلك اللحظة إلى الحال.

Even in overwhelming opposition and loss, dharmic resolve is tested; awareness of one’s forces precedes decisive response.
