12.53

śastraṃ tarūrvī-dharamambu pānaṃ vṛttiḥ phalair, no gaja-vāji-nāryaḥ
rāṣṭraṃ na paścān, na jano'bhirakṣyaḥ, kiṃ duḥsthamācakṣva bhavet pareṣām.

Weapons are trees and mountains, water is drink, sustenance is with fruits; there are no elephants, horses, or women;
there is no kingdom behind them, no people to protect: say, what could be distressed for the enemies?
