महोदरवधः
The Slaying of Mahodara
उत्पेततुस्ततस्तूर्णंजघ्नतुश्चपरस्परम् ।भुजैश्चिक्षिपतुर्वीरावन्योन्यमपराजितौ ।।6.98.27।।
utpetatus tatas tūrṇaṁ jaghnatuś ca parasparam |
bhujaiś cikṣipatur vīrāv anyonyam aparājitau ||6.98.27||
அப்போது அந்த இரு வீரரும் விரைந்து பாய்ந்து எழுந்து ஒருவரையொருவர் தாக்கினர்; தோல்வியறியாத அவர்கள் தம் புஜபலத்தால் ஒருவரையொருவர் தள்ளினர்।
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.
