Verse 6.127.43

दूरमुत्सहते राजा महासत्त्वो महापदि ।
अल्पसत्त्वो जनः शोचत्यल्पेऽपि हि परिक्षते ॥ ४३ ॥

dūramutsahate rājā mahāsattvo mahāpadi |
alpasattvo janaḥ śocatyalpe'pi hi parikṣate || 43 ||

See how a high mettled hero overpowers on all his imminent dangers, and stretches his conquest far and wide; and behold on the other hand, how a mean spirited man is tried and grieves at the ordinary casualties of life.
