One and the same din -- "bhīrūṇāṃ trāsajanane śūrāṇāṃ harṣavardhane": to the timid it is terror, to the valiant, joy. The outer sound is unchanging; what differs is the heart's response: fear and courage hear different things in the same thunder. It is telling that the trial does not create cowardice or courage but only reveals what already fills the person. The verse teaches that the same circumstance discloses what a person is made of within: the same roar of battle crushes one man and lifts another.
