An army that has its heroes and chiefs slainbecoming dispirited and drooping, range the field, like a vessel on water that has losi its helmsman. But, O lorm one, these troops, be trying neither agitation nor anxiety, are guarding the Kākutsthas, This I tell you of them out of affection.
हतवीरप्रधाना हि गतोत्साहा निरुद्यमा। सेना भ्रमति संख्येषु हतकणेव नौ ले॥ इयं पुनरसंभ्रान्ता निरुद्विग्ना तपस्विनि। सेना रक्षति काकुत्स्थौ मया प्रीत्या निवेदितौ ॥
