तेषामापततामग्रे खड्गमुद्यम्य दारुणम् । अभ्युद्ययौ महावीरान्दर्शयन्निव पौरुषम्
teṣāmāpatatāmagre khaḍgamudyamya dāruṇam | abhyudyayau mahāvīrāndarśayanniva pauruṣam
Al frente de los que acometían, alzó una espada terrible y se lanzó contra los grandes guerreros, como si mostrara su varonil valentía.

True valor is purposeful—courage is meant to uphold dharma and protect, not to boast.
