Translation
Vāyu said: “That mighty hero followed the noble code of his father’s line and his mother’s line. After slaying enemies by the thousand, the valiant warrior—an eminent chariot-fighter—has himself fallen. His death stands as a testimony to steadfast loyalty to family dharma and fearless conduct in battle.”
