सज्जं कृत्वा स्वसैन्यं तु चतुरंगं प्रकोपतः । युद्धं चक्रे च तैः सार्धं मरणे कृतनिश्चयः
sajjaṃ kṛtvā svasainyaṃ tu caturaṃgaṃ prakopataḥ | yuddhaṃ cakre ca taiḥ sārdhaṃ maraṇe kṛtaniścayaḥ
Dengan amarah menyala, baginda menyiapkan bala tentera empat angkatan miliknya lalu berperang bersama mereka, dengan tekad biarpun sampai kepada maut.
