## Dvashashtitmam Pa

This is the time when the brave and the cowardly are tested. Just as one does not fight in battle as one eats sweet food, so too, the brave do not fight in battle as they eat sweet food. ||43||

The directions seemed to be roaring with the roars of the brave and the elevated sounds of the trumpets, as if they were drunk with the blood and were shrouded in darkness. ||44||

The sky became extremely terrifying, as if it were holding its teeth to swallow everything, with weapons like the chakra, shakti, gada, ashti, kanaka, ashta, and ghana. ||45||

Seeing the army wounded and drenched in blood, one wondered if it was the red forest of Ashoka, or the grove of Palasha, or the forest of Paribhadra trees. ||46||

Seeing his armor broken and his bonds loosened, one quickly donned another armor, just as a virtuous person quickly dons love again after it is broken. ||47||

A valiant warrior, with his teeth clenched, held his sword firmly and, tightening his belt, was ready to fight again, free from fatigue. ||48||

Another warrior, whose chest was wounded by the tusk of a maddened elephant, was being honored with the waving fly whisks made from the elephant's ears. ||49||

One warrior, having fulfilled his duty to his master, with a calm mind, spread out his arms and slept between the elephant's tusks. ||50||

Many warriors, who looked like mountains of iron and from whom streams of blood were flowing, were revived from their swoon by the sprinkling of water drops. ||51||

Many warriors, with their lips bitten, weapons in hand, and with furrowed brows and fierce faces, were giving up their lives, lying on the ground. ||52||

Some brave warriors, having restrained their anger and discarded their weapons, were giving up their lives, meditating on the Supreme Word. ||53||

Some fierce warriors, holding the tips of their tusks in their hands, were swinging in front of the elephants. ||54||

Hundreds of headless bodies, with their weapons in hand, were dancing a terrifying dance, shedding blood. ||55||

Some, with their armor shattered, were entering the water, exhausted and with their hopes of life fading. ||56||

Shame on you, why are you trembling? Have you forgotten? Don't tremble, where will you go alone? ||41-42||
