Whoever came close to him, unyielding, did not return, just as rivers do not return from the sea. Like a boat seized by a great crocodile, tormented by fear of the storm, that host shuddered, shattered like a ship in the sea. Then the mighty Rukmaratha, son of the lord of the Madras, fearless, encouraging the terrified host, spoke these words.

Whoever approaches the youth "does not return, as rivers do not return from the sea": the image shows the irreversibility of the destruction that swallows all who draw near him. The host trembles "like a boat in a storm" — fear has seized the multitude. And yet there is found one fearless man, encouraging the rest: even amid general panic, the courage of individuals does not die out. The verse teaches that there are powers which swallow without return, as the sea swallows rivers, and it is unwise to dare approach them; that fear, like a storm, can shake an entire army; but also that among the frightened there will always be found one whose spirit stands firm, who alone tries to hearten the wavering — though, as what follows will show, his own boldness will turn against him.
