The result of retreating from battle is loss of wealth, death, infamy, and reproach. Unpleasant, sharp and cutting remarks await the fate of him who retreats from battle, who lose his lips and teeth, who casts off all his weapons, or who allows himself to be taken as a captive by the enemy. Let such evil results always befall the warriors of our enemies.
अर्थनाशो वधोऽकीर्तिरयशच पलायने। अमनोज्ञासुखा वाचः पुरुषस्य पलायने॥ प्रतिध्वस्तोष्ठदन्तस्य न्यस्तसर्वायुधस्य च। अमित्रैरवरुद्धस्य द्विषतामस्तु नः सदा॥
