Gav Spares His Stranded Brother

From E2.3, Gav, Talkhand, and Chess. It illustrates E2.3.336–347 (to E2.3.348):

E2.3.336
Thus till the sun had left the sky the strifeSurpassed all bounds and drained the field of life.
E2.3.337
Then from the field a shout from Gav was heard,And all the combatants received his word:
E2.3.338
“You warriors, take no revenge todayOn those who seek safe quarter in the fray.
E2.3.339
Know that my brother now has turned away,And left alone, cannot abide this day.”
E2.3.340
Then many chiefs asked quarter; many moreWere slaughtered on the field in streams of gore.
E2.3.341
Talkhand’s whole army scattered in dismay,Their shepherd gone, their broken ranks gave way.
E2.3.342
When young Talkhand was stranded and bereft,Upon his elephant, with no one left,
E2.3.343
Gav called, “My brother, leave this battlefield;Go home, where palace walls can be your shield.
E2.3.344
By truth, you shall not suffer harm from me,Nor from my men, if you from battle flee.
E2.3.345
Give thanks to God, the source of all good things,For life preserved amid the strife of kings.
E2.3.346
But this is not the time for long advice;Go now, before new blood demands its price.”
E2.3.347
When young Talkhand had heard his brother’s word,He writhed with shame, and all his soul was stirred.
