Warriors, who have conquered even the elephants of the directions but think in terms of “mine,” surrounded by their enemies, all fall dead on the battlefield. They do not attain the abode attained by those who have renounced all material attachments and have no enemies.
Great warriors conquer even the elephants of the directions situated far away, but they cannot conquer the eleven senses, which are close enemies. This is their courage, but it is not spiritual. Thinking in terms of “mine,” they all die on the battlefield. Spiritual courage is then described. Real courage is having no enmity and giving up all material attachments.

Sometimes the living entity in the forest of material existence takes shelter of creepers, desiring to hear the chirping of the birds in those creepers. Being afraid of group of lions in the forest, he makes friends with cranes, herons and vultures.
Again the forest of material life is described. He takes shelter of the happiness of touch of the arms of women, like creepers. He desires to hear the birds which cannot be heard because they are sleeping in the creepers. This refers to the inaudible words of the woman while embracing the man. Dvija also refers to the children born from the man and woman. He desires to see and touch them.
Pretenders say “How will you become free of material life?” Hearing these words by chance, he becomes afraid of the wheel of time, which is like a group of lions. To alleviate his fear he eagerly accepts the words of the cheaters. “Easily you can cross the ocean of suffering.” He makes friends with the cheaters who are like cranes. They are cheaters, unintelligent, and cruel.
