Kural 761<\/p>\n
Foremost among a monarch’s possessions stands
\na conquering army, complete and fearless.
\nKural 762<\/p>\n
Only seasoned soldiers remain bravely determined
\nwhen onslaughts decimate them and threaten defeat.
\nKural 763<\/p>\n
So what if a legion of rats roars like the raging sea?
\nThe mere hiss of a cobra will deaden their din.
\nKural 764<\/p>\n
Commanding a long tradition of valor, acquainted
\nwith neither defeat nor desertion–that defines an army.
\nKural 765<\/p>\n
That indeed is an army which stands together,
\neven when faced with death’s grim fury.
\nKural 766<\/p>\n
Valor, honor, trustworthiness and a tradition nobly upheld–
\nthese four are an army’s protective armor.
\nKural 767<\/p>\n
Well-trained armed forces will withstand every attack,
\nthen outflank and storm the foe.
\nKural 768<\/p>\n
Even without a winning offense and defense,
\nan army of splendid appearance may still win acclaim.
\nKural 769<\/p>\n
An army will prevail as long as there is
\nno desertion, no privation and no contention.
\nKural 770<\/p>\n
Though courageous troops abound,
\nthere can be no army without commanders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
