etāvad eva puruṣaiḥ kāryaṃ hṛdayatoṣaṇam | nayena vidhidṛṣṭena yad upakramate parān |
Translation
وایو نے کہا— اہلِ شجاعت کے لیے دل کو تسکین دینے والا فرض بس یہی ہے کہ وہ شریعت و شاستر میں بتائی ہوئی نیتی اور ضابطے کے مطابق مخالفین کے خلاف اقدام کریں—جوشِ نفس سے نہیں، بلکہ دھرم-نیتی کی رہنمائی میں۔
