भीरु O timid lady, समरेषु in combat, अनिवर्तिनाम् for those who do not turn back, अधर्षितानाम् for the invincible, शूराणाम् for heroes, धर्षणामर्षणम् to endure insult, मरणात् more than death, अतिरिच्यते is worse

O timid lady to swallow insult (without facing the opponent) is worse than death for indomitable heroes (like me) who know no retreat in a battle.
