Vira – brave 

«Human life is like a turbulent stream, strewn with rocks and pebbles; the brave step into it; for by sitting on the shore and enumerating hurdles, you shall never get across. Leave behind the burden of your fears, guilts, weaknesses and cumbersome attachments. Thus freed from all negative forces, smoothly cross over the stream». (Atharva Veda, 12.2.26)

Vira is the hero, the brave, the strong. He is virtuous and fearless at the same time. His living sometimes in difficult situations is not due to lack of wisdom, but to the need to take part in the game of life.
