A marching forth belongs to those possessed of superior qualities when there is an increase of power, / when counsel, energy, and royal majesty are attained in right place and time. // Do you then suppose your success will come by marching together, / mailed for battle, accompanied by the Yakṣas and Rākṣasas?
