Here, because cities, regions, elephants, horses, and jewels are increasingly venerable, their mention ought to be in that order; / or rather, on account of their connection with the act of surrendering, the less venerable should be designated earlier. / This being so, even though there is an inversion in the manner stated, it is spoken by the wives of the enemy with the intention: 'O lord of our lives, life must be saved by offering all wealth to the sovereign; enough with discerning what is venerable and what is not,' and therefore it is [normally] a defect. / When dispelling an unwelcome apprehension, as in the genealogy of the hero himself:
'He whose first son is celebrated as the crest-jewel among princes, glorious Yannavota, who by his virtues is an elder brother to one (Kāmadeva) in the splendor of personal form; an elder brother to two (Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa) when he takes up the bow; an elder brother to three (the worlds) in overcoming enemies with the prowess of his irresistible arms; an elder brother to four in truthful speech; and furthermore an elder brother to five (the Pāṇḍavas) in generosity—he is victorious!'
