हताश्वात तु रथात् तूर्णमवतीर्य महाभुज: । आरुरोह रथं भ्रातुरन्यच्च धनुराददे ७ ।। महाबाहु वृषक उस अश्वहीन रथसे शीघ्र उतरकर अपने भाई अचलके रथपर जा चढ़ा। फिर उसने अपने हाथमें दूसरा धनुष ले लिया

Educational Q&A
Even amid sudden loss in battle (a chariot rendered horseless), a warrior committed to his role does not collapse into despair; he adapts quickly and continues his duty with steadiness and resolve.
A mighty warrior’s chariot loses its horses. He immediately dismounts, climbs onto his brother’s chariot, and arms himself with a different bow so he can re-enter combat without delay.
