The sages have said that warrior, who considers the van of the hostile army as the quarters of his wives, who regards the van of his own army as the vessel for the preservation of sacrificial offerings, who takes the warriors standing to his south for his courtiers and those to this north as his holders of fire, and who regards the hostile army as his married wife, succeeds in acquiring all regions of felicity.
पत्नीशाला कृता यस्य परेषां वाहिनीमुखम्॥ हविर्धानं स्ववाहिन्यास्तदस्याहुर्मनीषिणः। सदस्या दक्षिणा योधा आग्नीध्रश्चोत्तरां दिशम्॥ शत्रुसेनाकलत्रस्य सर्वलोका न दूरतः।
