Upholding duty
Swadharmam Apichavekshya Navikampitum Arhasi
Dharmyaddhi Yuddhachchreyonyat Kshatriyasya Na Vidyate
Even considering one's own dharma, one should not falter. For a Kshatriya, there is no greater good that is known than fighting in a righteous war.
Yadruchchaya Chopapannam Swargadwaramapavrutam
Sukhinah Kshatriyah Partha Labhante Yuddhameedrisham
*****
Oh Arjuna, By chance this war has come, taking you close to the door of heaven which is now open. Such a war in the hands of a kshatriyah is indeed one that makes them happy.
In both these verses, Sri Krishna uses the trumpcard of duty and the joy of fulfilling his duties as a warrior to pep up his emotions and make him ready to fight. - Swahilya Shambhavi. (swahilya.soulmate@gmail.com)
