तत्र अपि "बहु कुण्ठ अल्प शूरयोः अल्प शूरं श्रेयः, शूरेषु हि युद्धम्, अल्पाः शूरा बहून् अशूरान् भञ्जन्ति, ते भग्नाः स्व सैन्य अवघातिनो भवन्ति" इत्य् आचार्याः ॥

My teacher says that of the two countries, one with a large number of effete persons, and another with a small number of brave persons, the latter is better inasmuch as, a few brave persons can destroy a large mass of effete persons whose slaughter brings about the destruction of the entire army of their master.
