ते वयं भर्तुरादेशं बहुमान्य दृढव्रताः।।।।प्रविष्टास्स्म पुरादृष्टं वनं गम्भीरदर्शनम्।
te vayaṃ bhartur ādeśaṃ bahumānya dṛḍhavratāḥ | praviṣṭāḥ sma purādṛṣṭaṃ vanaṃ gambhīradarśanam ||
ते वयं भर्तुरादेशं बहुमान्य दृढव्रताः। प्रविष्टास्स्म पुरादृष्टं वनं गम्भीरदर्शनम्॥

Resolve (dṛḍhatā) and duty-bound obedience—choosing principled action over fear or comfort.
