संदष्टौष्ठमुखैः पृथ्वीं दैत्यानां सोऽभ्यपूरयत् । ततो निःशेषितप्रायां विलोक्य स्वां चमूं तदा
saṃdaṣṭauṣṭhamukhaiḥ pṛthvīṃ daityānāṃ so'bhyapūrayat | tato niḥśeṣitaprāyāṃ vilokya svāṃ camūṃ tadā
دَیتیہ غضب میں ہونٹ اور چہرہ بھینچتے ہوئے زمین کو اُن سے بھر دینے لگا؛ پھر اپنی فوج کو قریب قریب نیست و نابود دیکھ کر اسی لمحے اس نے نظر ڈالی۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)

Even in overwhelming opposition and loss, dharmic resolve is tested; awareness of one’s forces precedes decisive response.
