संग्रामादपयातानां भग्नानां शरणैषिणाम् । पौरुषं दर्शयञ्शूरो यस्तिष्ठेदग्रतः पुमान् । क्रीणीयात्तं सहस्रेण नीतिमन्नाम तत्पदम्॥५-५६-५३॥
When troops fall back from battle—broken and seeking refuge—the hero who stands in the forefront and displays steadfast courage: such a man would be ‘bought’ even for a thousand; that station is truly the mark of one skilled in nīti, the art of statecraft.
