स्वधर्ममपि चावेक्ष्य न विकम्पितुमर्हसि | धर्म्याद्धि युद्धाच्छ्रेयोऽन्यत्क्षत्रियस्य न विद्यते

即使考慮到汝之自性法,汝亦不應猶豫動搖,因對剎帝利而言,無有比正義之戰更為殊勝者。
Even considering your own duty you should not waver, since there is nothing else better for a Ksatriya than a righteous battle.
主黑天現在為阿爾諸那提供了戰鬥的世俗理由。此前,祂向阿爾諸那闡述了真我的不朽性,並給予了哲學上的理由。現在祂對阿爾諸那說:「阿爾諸那啊,戰鬥是剎帝利的本分職責。汝不應偏離此職責。對剎帝利(生於武士或統治階級者)而言,沒有什麼比一場正義之戰更受歡迎。武士應當戰鬥。」
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.
