स्वधर्ममपि चावेक्ष्य न विकम्पितुमर्हसि | धर्म्याद्धि युद्धाच्छ्रेयोऽन्यत्क्षत्रियस्य न विद्यते
svadharmamapi cāvekṣya na vikampitumarhasi . dharmyāddhi yuddhācchreyo.anyatkṣatriyasya na vidyate
即使考虑到你自己的职责(达摩),你也不应动摇,因为对于刹帝利而言,没有比一场正义之战更好的事了。
Even considering your own duty you should not waver, since there is nothing else better for a Ksatriya than a righteous battle.
克里希那勋爵现在向阿周那阐述了战斗的世俗理由。此前,他一直从真我(Atman)不朽的角度,给予阿周那哲学上的解释。现在,他告诉阿周那:“哦,阿周那,战斗是刹帝利(Kshatriya)的固有职责(Svadhārma)。你不应偏离这一职责。对于刹帝利(生于武士或统治阶层的人)而言,没有什么比一场正义之战更值得欢迎的了。一名武士就应该战斗。”
Lord Krishna now gives to Arjuna wordly reasons for fighting. Up to this time? He talked to Arjuna on the immortality of the Self and gave him philosophical reasons. Now He says to Arjuna? O Arjuna Fighting is a Kshatriyas own duty. You ought not to swerve from that duty. To a Kshatriyta (one born in the warrior or ruling class) nothing is more welcome than a righteous war. A warrior should fight.
