यशस्तिलक - कर्णेजपैस्तु भोग्यानि

समरभरः सुभटानां फलानि कर्णेजपैस्तु भोग्यानि |
करिदशना इव नृपतेर्बाह्याः क्लेशाय खादनेंऽतस्थाः ||

- यशस्तिलक

The brave soldiers win the war outside the country. But the benefits are enjoyed by rumormongers and ear biters with in the state. Just like all the hard work is done by the tusks of the elephant and the internal molars enjoy biting the food.

पञ्चरात्र - योध

ताडितस्य हि योधस्य श्लाघनीय कर्मणा ।
अकालांतरिता पूजा नाशयत्येव वेदनाम् ॥

- पञ्चरात्र

When a soldier comes home after being wounded in battle, all his pain will go away if you decorate him with praises (and medals) without delay.
