The steady desire to win in fighting, either acquired or natural, induced either by one’s own strength or with encouragement of others’ help, which arises when yuddhotsāha-rati becomes the sthāyi-bhāva, is called yuddhotsāha.
Purport
Chivalrous activities in the matter of fighting, charity, mercy and execution of religious rituals are called constitutional, whereas expressions of pride, emotion, endurance, kindness, determination, jubilation, enthusiasm, jealousy and remembrance are called unconstitutional.

Commentary
The description of yuddotsāha etc. with qualities like the desire to win are included with the general qualities of utsāha-rati mentioned previously (2.5.57): firm and immediate attachment of the mind to activities such as battle whose results are praised by the saintly persons is called utsāha. The intention here is to indicate a very deep desire for winning.
