वीर्यहीनमिवाशक्तं क्षत्रधर्मेण भार्गव | अवजानासि मे तेजः पश्य मेऽद्य पराक्रमम् || १-७६-३

viirya hiinam iva ashaktam kShatra dharmeNa bhaargava | avajaanaasi me tejaH pashya me adya paraakramam || 1-76-3

Translation

"Oh, Bhaargava Rama, demeaning me as though I am timorous, hence incapable to handle the bow, and hence I am an ignoble one for Kshatriya-hood, is meaningless... come on, now you may see my spiritedness and sprightliness..." So said Rama to Bhaargava. [1-76-3]
