Valmiki Ramayana Ayodhya Kanda Sarga 23 Shloka 35

मयि when I, बद्धगोधाङ्गुलित्राणे while donning the godha (a leather fence fastened round the left arm to prevent injury from the bowstring) and fingerprotector (a contrivance like a thimble used by archers to protect the thumb or finger from being injured by bowstring), प्रगृहीतशरासने while holding the bow, स्थिते while I stand, पुरुषाणाम् among men, पुरुषमानी one who considers himself manly, कथम् how, स्यात् will it be.

When I stand before men (enemies) wearing godha and fingerprotector, holding the bow ready, who amongst men will boast of his manliness?
