कुलेषु जाताः सर्वेऽस्मिन्विस्तीर्णेषु महत्सु च। कव गच्छत भयत्रस्ताः प्राकृता हरयो यथा। अनार्याः खलु यद्भीतास्त्यक्त्वा वीर्यं प्रधावत॥

English Meaning
Born in long and noble lines, whither go you, suffering from fear, like abject monkeys? When renouncing your prowess, you fly away in fear, forsooth you are base.
