संदष्टौष्ठमुखैः पृथ्वीं दैत्यानां सोऽभ्यपूरयत् । ततो निःशेषितप्रायां विलोक्य स्वां चमूं तदा
saṃdaṣṭauṣṭhamukhaiḥ pṛthvīṃ daityānāṃ so'bhyapūrayat | tato niḥśeṣitaprāyāṃ vilokya svāṃ camūṃ tadā
Когда дайтьи, в ярости, кусали губы и лица, он наполнил ими землю; затем, увидев, что его собственное войско почти истреблено, в тот миг он оглядел происходящее.

Even in overwhelming opposition and loss, dharmic resolve is tested; awareness of one’s forces precedes decisive response.
