Thousand names of Śiva (Sahasranāma) - Verse 176

Sūta said: O destroyer of the enemies of Devas, in order to fight, one shall not evince forgiveness in the battle, when weakness has passed away or not yet come in. It should not be practised towards one’s own people at improper times, and when unrighteousness and calamities have disappeared. After saying thus he gave him the discus that had the lustre of ten thousand suns.
