Shloka 50
सध्वजा: सायुधा: शूरा: सवर्माम्बरभूषणा: । कालेन महता यत्ता: कुशलैयें च वर्धिता:
sadhvajāḥ sāyudhāḥ śūrāḥ savarmāmbarabhūṣaṇāḥ | kālena mahatā yattāḥ kuśalaiś ca vardhitāḥ ||
ते ध्वज व आयुधांनी सज्ज शूरवीर होते, कवचधारी, उत्तम वस्त्र-आभूषणांनी विभूषित। दीर्घकाळच्या शिस्तीने संयमित आणि कुशल सरावाने बळकट होऊन, महायुद्ध जवळ येताच ते पूर्ण सज्ज उभे राहिले होते।
