Once a battle starts, once you plunge in it
Bheemayya · 12th century · from the Kannada original
Original
ಕಾಳಗವೆಂಬ ಕಟ್ಟಿದಿರಾದಡೆ,ಸೋಂಕಿದಡೆ ಬಿಡೆ, ಕರೆದರೆಂದು ಬಿಡೆ.ವ್ರತ ಹೋದವರು ಸುಳಿಯದಿರಿ. ಕಂಡಡೆ ಕೊಲುವಬಿರಿದು, ಭಿಕಾರಿಭೀಮೇಶ್ವರಲಿಂಗವೆ.
Translation
Once a battle starts, once you plunge in itIt never leaves you, even if someone urges you to step backO’ vow-forsakers, don’t step near a battlefieldBhikari Bheemeshwara is known to maim & kill - here, there & everywhere
