Assistants' brawl description Chapter 14



महादेव उवाच |
The great God said (to his assistants)



एकाकी स गणो बालः किं करिष्यति विक्रमं || 59 ||
भवन्तश्च गणा लोके युद्धे चातिविशारदाः |
मदीयाश्च कथं युद्धं हित्वा यास्यथ लाघवम् || 60 ||
What power will that assistant child alone show? You assistants are the great experts of war in this world. How do my (assistants) leave a war and achieve lowliness?



तस्मात्सर्वे च मद्वीराः शृणुतादरतो वचः |
कर्तव्यं सर्वथा युद्धं भावि यत्तद्भवत्विति || 62 ||
And therefore, all my brave (assistants), listen my words with respect. The war should be fought; future is what will happen.
