The Twenty-Eighth Chapter

*
"O Lord, we are ready to retaliate against whoever, be it a Deva or a Danava, has sent this arrow." || 126 ||
Thus, the valiant protectors, having informed their Lord, the Magadha, were told by him, "Be silent! There is no benefit in such heroic words." || 127 ||
"You are the Devas under my command, and I am the Magadha. Have you ever heard of me tolerating an enemy? " || 128 ||
"A man who bears his life, stained with defeat, is not considered a man by virtue of his qualities, but only by his gender." || 129 ||
"He is a painted man or a straw man who, without any qualities, merely wants to be called a man." || 130 ||
"He who purifies his lineage and birth through his valor is truly a man. On the other hand, a man who calls himself a hero merely by name, it would be better if he were not born on this earth." || 131 ||
"We are called Devas only by conquering our enemies, not by merely roaming around at will. Therefore, our wealth should always be obtained through victory over our enemies." || 132 ||
"He who worships another by offering him things like ropes, elephants, horses, and royal insignia like umbrellas and fans, his wealth is for the enjoyment of others. I consider such wealth to be a mockery." || 133 ||
"This king, who shoots arrows, wants wealth from me. For this, I will give him death along with war." || 134 ||
"First, I will break this arrow and make it the first fuel for my fire of anger. This arrow, in its small pieces, will be the fuel for my fire of anger." || 135 ||
