Chapter 2 - Samkhya Yoga - Sloka 3
Klaibyam ma sma gamah partha nai tat tvayy upapadyate I
Kshudram hrdaya daurbalyam tyaktva udttishtha paramtapa II Sloka 3
क्लैब्यं म स्म गमः पार्थ नै तत् तवय्य उपपद्यते ।
क्षुद्रं ह्रदय दौर्बल्यं त्यक्त्वा उद्त्तिष्ठ परंतप ।। श्लोक ३
Yield not to unmanliness, O Arjuna, it does not become you. Shake off this faint heartedness and arise, O scorcher of foes!
When Arjuna thus sat, the Lord, opposing his action, said, "What is the reason for your misplaced grief? Arise for battle, abandoning this grief, which has arisen in a critical situation, which can come only in men of wrong understanding, which is an obstacle for reaching heaven, which does not confer fame on you, which is very mean, and which is caused by faint heartedness.
