Dehee nityam avadhyo’yam dehe sarvasya bhaarata;
Tasmaat sarvaani bhootaani na twam shochitum arhasi.

30. This, the Indweller in the body of everyone, is always indestructible, O Arjuna!
Therefore, thou shouldst not grieve for any creature.

Swadharmam api chaavekshya na vikampitum arhasi;
Dharmyaaddhi yuddhaacchreyo’nyat kshatriyasya na vidyate.

31. Further, having regard to thy own duty, thou shouldst not waver, for there is nothing
higher for a Kshatriya than a righteous war.

COMMENTARY

To a Kshatriya (one born in the warrior or ruling class) nothing is more
welcome than a righteous war.
