शौर्यं वीर्यं धृतिस्तेजस् त्यागश्चात्मजयः क्षमा ।
ब्रह्मण्यता प्रसादश्च सत्यं च क्षत्रलक्षणम् ॥ २२ ॥
sauryam viryam dhrtis tejas
satyam ca ksatra-laksanam
sauryam-power in battle; viryam-being unconquerable; dhrtih-patience (even in reverses, a ksatriya is very grave); tejah-ability to defeat others; tyagah-giving charity; ca-and; atma-jayah-not being overwhelmed by bodily necessities; ksama-forgiveness; brahmanyata-faithfulness to the brahminical principles; prasadah-jolliness in any condition of life; ca-and; satyam ca-and truthfulness; ksatra-laksanam-these are the symptoms of a ksatriya.
To be influential in battle, unconquerable, patient, challenging and charitable, to control the bodily necessities, to be forgiving, to be attached to the brahminical nature and to be always jolly and truthful-these are the symptoms of the ksatriya.
