Even those men, who possessed all the noble virtues and whose heavenly valour, generosity, magnanimity, faith, truth, purity, simplicity and mercy, are published in the Puranas by the sacred bards of great learning, gave up their lives.
येषां दिव्यानि कर्माणि विक्रमस्त्याग एव च। माहात्म्यमपि चास्तिक्यं सत्यं शौचं दयार्जवम्॥ विद्वद्भिः कथ्यते लोके पुराणे कविसत्तमैः। सर्वर्द्धिगुणसंपन्नास्ते चापि निधनं गताः॥
