Shloka 83
ततो भूयोअब्रवीद् देवो देवानिन्द्रपुरोगमान्,तब महादेवजीने पुन: इन्द्र आदि देवताओंसे कहा--“शायद ये दैत्योंको न मारें' ऐसा समझकर तुम्हें किसी प्रकार भी शोक नहीं करना चाहिये। तुमलोग असुरोंको इस बाणसे “मरा हुआ' ही समझो”
tato bhūyo ’bravīd devo devān indrapurogāmān | tataḥ mahādevaḥ punar indra-ādi-devatābhyaḥ uvāca—“śāyad etān daityān na mārayeyuḥ” iti matvā yuṣmābhiḥ kathaṃcid api śoko na kartavyaḥ | yūyaṃ asurān etena bāṇena “mṛtān eva” manyadhvam ||
Rồi vị Chúa tể thiêng liêng lại cất lời với chư thiên do Indra dẫn đầu. Mahādeva nói với Indra và các thần khác: “Chớ buồn phiền, nghĩ rằng: ‘Có lẽ bọn Daitya này sẽ không bị giết.’ Các ngươi hãy xem bọn Asura như đã chết bởi chính mũi tên này.”

Do not succumb to grief or doubt in a dharmic struggle when righteous means and higher assurance are present; steadiness of mind and confidence in just action are themselves part of victory.
Mahādeva addresses Indra and the other gods, urging them not to fear that the Daityas might survive; he instructs them to treat the Asuras as already slain by the power of a particular arrow, reinforcing morale and certainty.
