CHAPTER 2 Curiosity About Action अवाच्यवादांश्च बहून्वदिष्यन्ति तवाहिता:। निन्दन्तस्तव सामर्थ्यं ततो दु:खतरं नु किम्॥36॥ [ “There can be nothing more painful for you than the disparaging and improper words your adversaries will speak against your valour.’’ ] His enemies will malign Arjun and utter words about him that should not be spoken. A single blemish is sufficient to bring upon one a shower of slander and abuse from all directions. Even words, improper for speech, are spoken. Can there be a greater grief than being an object of such calumny? So Krishn tells Arjun: हतो वा प्राप्स्यसि स्वर्गं जित्वा वा भोक्ष्यसे महीम्। तस्मादुत्तिष्ठ कौन्तेय युद्धाय कृतनिश्चय:॥37॥ [“Rise up with determination for the war because if you die in it you will attain to heaven and, if you win, you will attain to the most exalted glory.’’]
