Then, Janaki, whose heart was melting with love for her sons, seeing them ready for battle, said, "O children! This is not the right time for you to fight. For calves are not put in front of the chariot's axle." ||30-32|| In response, the two sons said, "Mother! Why did you say that? What need is there for the old in this? The earth is for the enjoyment of heroes." ||33|| "What is the use of a large body for a fire that burns?
