पुनरावर्तमानानां भग्नानां जीवितैषिणाम्‌ । भेतव्यमरिशेषाणामेकायनगता हिते

punarāvartamānānāṁ bhagnānāṁ jīvitaiṣiṇām | bhetavyam ariśeṣāṇām ekāyanagatā hi te ||

ဝါယုက ပြောသည်—“အသက်ရှင်လို၍ ပျက်စီးကာ ထွက်ပြေးသွားပြီးနောက် တိုက်ပွဲသို့ ပြန်လှည့်လာသော ရန်သူကျန်ရစ်သူတို့ကို သတိထားရမည်။ အကြောင်းမူကား ထိုကဲ့သို့ ကျန်ရစ်သော ရန်သူတို့သည် လမ်းတစ်လမ်းတည်းကို ရွေးချယ်ပြီး တစ်ချက်တည်းသော ဆုံးဖြတ်ချက်သို့ ရောက်နေကြသည်; ထိုအခါ သူတို့သည် သေခြင်းကိုတောင် မကြောက်တော့ပေ။”

Educational Q&A

Do not underestimate a foe who has fled and then returns; such survivors often come back with a hardened, single-minded resolve, making them more dangerous than before.

Vāyudeva offers counsel in the war context, warning that routed enemies who regroup and re-enter battle should be treated with heightened caution because their renewed return signals firm determination.
