महोदरवधः
The Slaying of Mahodara
उत्पेततुस्ततस्तूर्णंजघ्नतुश्चपरस्परम् ।भुजैश्चिक्षिपतुर्वीरावन्योन्यमपराजितौ ।।6.98.27।।
utpetatus tatas tūrṇaṁ jaghnatuś ca parasparam |
bhujaiś cikṣipatur vīrāv anyonyam aparājitau ||6.98.27||
ततः तौ वीरौ शीघ्रमुत्पत्य परस्परं जघ्नतुः; अपराजितौ सन्तौ भुजाभ्यामन्योन्यं चिक्षिपतुः।
Then both of them again and again striking each other slapping with palms fell down and rolled on the ground.
Resilience is a dhārmic strength: falling is not failure; one rises and continues the rightful task with steadiness and courage.
After tumbling to the ground, both combatants recover immediately and resume grappling and striking.
Vīrya joined with kṣamā (endurance): the capacity to recover quickly and persist without losing fighting spirit.
