अथ चेत्त्वमिमं धर्म्यं संग्रामं न करिष्यसि | ततः स्वधर्मं कीर्तिं च हित्वा पापमवाप्स्यसि
atha cettvamimaṃ dharmyaṃ saṃgrāmaṃ na kariṣyasi . tataḥ svadharmaṃ kīrtiṃ ca hitvā pāpamavāpsyasi
然若汝不參與此正義之戰，則汝將捨棄自性法與名譽，招致罪惡。
On the other hand, if you will not fight this righteous battle, then, forsaking your own duty and fame, you will incur sin.
主提醒阿爾諸那他已贏得的名譽，以及若他拒絕戰鬥將會失去這些名譽。阿爾諸那曾與濕婆神戰鬥並贏得了巨大的名譽。阿爾諸那曾前往喜馬拉雅山朝聖，他與化身為山地人（吉羅多）的濕婆神戰鬥，並從祂那裡獲得了帕舒帕塔斯特拉（一種天界武器）。
The Lord reminds Arjuna of the fame he had already earned and which he would now lose if he refused to fight. Arjuna had acired great fame by fighting with Lord Siva. Arjuna proceeded on a pilgrimage to the Himalayas. He fought with Siva Who appeared in the guise of a mountaineer (Kirata) and got from Him the Pasupatastra? a celestial weapon.
