"Shair ki aik din ki zindagi, geedar ki soo sala zingadi se behtar hy"
One day of a tiger's life (think bravery) is better than a century of a jackle's life (think cowardice).
This was his last words when some of his advisor asked him to flee when it was certain that british have defeated mysore. He said those words and charged in to the battle and died.
Very famous saying. Was not aware it was attributed to him.
Will have to check if it really is. Sounds too funfacty to be true lol.
