स्वधर्ममपि चावेक्ष्य न विकम्पितुमर्हसि ।
धर्म्याद्धि युद्धाच्छ्रेयोऽन्यत्क्षत्रियस्य न विद्यते ॥31॥
svadharmamapi cāvekṣya na vikampitumarhasi
dharmyāddhi yuddhācchreyo’nyatkṣatriyasya na vidyate
svadharmaṃ = one’s own religious principles; api = also; ca = indeed; avekṣya = considering; na = never; vikampituṃ = to hesitate; arhasi = you deserve; dharmyāt = for religious principles; hi = indeed; yuddhāt = than fighting; śreyaḥ = better engagement; anyat = any other; kṣatriyasya = of the ksatriya; na = does not; vidyate = exist.;
Further, looking at thine own duty thou oughtest not to waver, for there is nothing higher for a KSHATRIYA than a righteous war.
