तावकानां परेषां च युध्यतां भरतर्षभ । नासीत्‌ कश्चिन्महाराज योज्त्याक्षीत्‌ संयुगं भयात्‌,भरतभूषण! महाराज! वहाँ युद्ध करते हुए आपके और शत्रुओंके योद्धाओंमें कोई ऐसा नहीं था, जिसने भयके कारण युद्धका मैदान छोड़ दिया हो

tāvakānāṃ pareṣāṃ ca yudhyatāṃ bharatarṣabha | nāsīt kaścin mahārāja yo jitākṣīt saṃyugaṃ bhayāt ||

Translation

ಸಂಜಯನು ಹೇಳಿದನು—ಭರತಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠ ಮಹಾರಾಜ! ನಿಮ್ಮವರೂ ಪರಪಕ್ಷದವರೂ ಯುದ್ಧದಲ್ಲಿ ತೊಡಗಿದ್ದಾಗಲೂ, ಭಯದಿಂದ ಸಮರಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ತ್ಯಜಿಸಿದ ಯೋಧ ಒಬ್ಬನೂ ಇರಲಿಲ್ಲ; ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಕ್ಷಾತ್ರಧರ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ಬದ್ಧರಾಗಿ ದೃಢವಾಗಿ ನಿಂತರು।
