katthitāsphoṭa-vispardhā-vikramāstra-grahādayaḥ |
pratiyodha-sthitāḥ santo bhavanty uddīpanā iha ||11||
Translation
The uddīpanas of yuddha-vīra-rasa are boasting, striking the arms in challenge, rivalry, showing strength, taking up weapons, and being aroused by the words of the opponent.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
In such chivalrous fighting between friends, there is sometimes bragging, complacence, pride, power, taking to weapons, challenging and standing as an opponent. All of these symptoms become impetuses to chivalrous devotional service.
