“A god, a demon, a king or a body of warriors, whether My equal in strength or more powerful than myself—should any of these challenge me to combat, I would gladly fight with him, no matter if it is Death himself. For he who is born as a Kƒatriya, and is yet afraid of fighting, is a veritable wretch and has brought a slur on his lineage. I tell you in my natural way and not by way of a tribute to my race: Raghu’s descendants do not tremble to meet in fight even Death. Such is the glory of the BrŒhma˜a race that he who is afraid of you (BrŒhma˜as) is rid of all fear.” When he heard these soft yet profound words of Ýr¶ RŒma, ParaÜurŒma’s mind was disillusioned. “O RŒma, take this bow of RamŒ’s lord and draw it, so that my doubts may be cleared.” As ParaÜurŒma offered his bow it passed into RŒma’s hands of its own accord, and ParaÜurŒma felt amazed at this.
