पराक्रमेण शौर्येण शौण्डीर्येण बलेन च । बन्धुवर्गेण सामग्र्य स्थानेन करणेन च । एवं ज्ञात्वा तु तां देवीं ततः कार्यं विधीयताम् ॥
parākrameṇa śauryeṇa śauṇḍīryeṇa balena ca | bandhuvargeṇa sāmagrya sthānena karaṇena ca | evaṃ jñātvā tu tāṃ devīṃ tataḥ kāryaṃ vidhīyatām ||
उसकी हिम्मत, बहादुरी, ताकत सब देखना। उसके घर वाले, पैसा, सब कुछ चेक करना। फिर जब सब पता चल जाए, तब सोचना आगे क्या करना है।
