जद्यपि मनुज दनुज कुल घालक। मुनि पालक खल सालक बालक॥ जौं न होइ बल घर फिरि जाहू। समर बिमुख मैं हतउँ न काहू॥ ६ ॥
Transliteration (IAST)
jadyapi manuja danuja kula ghālaka। muni pālaka khala sālaka bālaka॥ jaun na hoi bala ghara phiri jāhū। samara bimukha maiṃ hatauṃ na kāhū॥ 6 ॥
Meaning
Though we are human, we are destroyers of the demon race, protectors of sages, and youthful chastisers of the wicked. If you have no strength, go back home. I do not slay anyone who turns away from battle.
