नानाशास्त्रेषु संग्रामे वैशारद्यमरिंदम। अवश्यमेव बोद्धव्यं काम्यश्च विजयो रणे॥
nānāśāstreṣu saṃgrāme vaiśāradyamariṃdama| avaśyameva boddhavyaṃ kāmyaśca vijayo raṇe||
English Meaning
O subduer of enemies, one should be versed in various branches of learning as well as be masterful in war. (According to a different reading, the meaning would be, “You are competent to fight agreeably to the rules.") He that craves victory in fight, should be acquainted with various branches of knowledge. (The śloka is very difficult and incapable of interpretation without at places meanings being read into it.)
