Siva Dhanurveda - some thoughts

Some extracts from SivaDhanurveda

A mighty warrior should not chase a weak fighter who is running away, because a warrior who apprehends death may suddenly become aggressive and brave.

If a hero dies surrounded by his enemies, without uttering a word in fear, it is sure that he will reach that eternal sphere (Heaven).

In war, if one achieves victory, one gains wealt, If one dies, one gets a place in Heaven and earns fame in this world. Hence one should exercise patience and kill one’s enemies..

(Enemy) heroes who faint, or are wounded, or whose weapons are broken, or who are fighting with another warrior, or who are asking for asylum or refuge, should not be killed.

The archer will be happy by taking his position ahead of a running animal, at the same time aiming to pierce the animal. He is at ease in such a position and he achieves success.

A hero who proceeds with the wind, by leaving the Sun behind as well as the birds and the floating clouds, surely becomes victorious.
