एवंप्रायाणि युद्धानि विजयो नास्ति नैष्ठिकः ॥ ६.४६.३१ ॥

नह्येनं हास्यते लक्ष्मीर्दुर्लभा या गतायुषाम् ॥ ६.४६.४० ॥

तस्मादाश्वासयात्मानं बलं चाश्वासय स्वकम्।
यावत् सैन्यानि सर्वाणि पुनः संस्थापयाम्यहम् ॥ ६.४६.४१ ॥
Therefore, comfort yourself and encourage your own army, until I have re-established all the armies.

श्रुत्वा गिरं तस्य महारथस्य।
जहौ ज्वरं दाशरथेः समुत्थं
प्रहृष्टवाचाभिननन्द पुत्रम् ॥ ६.४६.५० ॥
With his inner self surging with joy, hearing the words of that great chariot-warrior, he cast off the fever that had arisen in Dāśaratha's son, and greeted his son with a joyful voice.
