Educational Q&A

The passage highlights valor expressed within accepted social rules: strength is displayed publicly with discipline and honor, and courage is shown by directly challenging a worthy opponent rather than resorting to deceit.

A renowned wrestler named Jīmūta is singled out in the arena; the challenger, energizing the crowd, ties on his wrestling loincloth and formally calls Jīmūta—described as fearsome like Vṛtrāsura—to a fight.
