Amba said Kill Bhishma in battle, O Rama, for he roars like an Asura, after challenging him to fight if you desire, what is pleasing to me, O Rama; besides it is proper that you should perform what you have promised.
अम्बोवाच जहि भीष्मं रणे राम गर्जन्तमसुरं यथा। समाहूतो रणे राम मम चेदिच्छसि प्रियम्। प्रतिश्रुतं च यदपि तत् सत्यं कर्तुमर्हसि॥
