Vīrabhadra said: O excellent sage, of great wisdom, listen to my weighty words. I will kill Tāraka. See my exploit today.

आनयंति च ये वीरास्स्वामिनं रणसंसदि ॥ ते पापिनो महाक्लीबा विनश्यन्ति रणं गताः ॥ २३ ॥
The soldiers who bring their masters to the battlefield are sinners. They are no better than eunuchs. They are doomed in the battle.

शस्त्रास्त्रैर्भिन्नगात्रा ये रणं कुर्वंति निर्भयाः ॥ इहामुत्र प्रशंस्यास्ते लभ्यन्ते सुखमद्भुतम् ॥ २५ ॥
