'This one is a boy', thinking this, you ought not to slight me. Whether I am a boy or an old* man' death shall you know in the conflict. *The commentator says the passage means-"You know (me) for death itself.” I prefer the sense given.
बालोऽयमिति विज्ञाय न चावज्ञातुमर्हसि। बालो वा यदि वा वृद्धो मृत्यु जानीहि संयुगे॥
