Shloka 11
यदि इस अवसरके आनेपर भी तुम अपने पक्षका कल्याण-साधन नहीं करोगे तो तुमसे जिस शौर्य और पराक्रमकी सम्भावना की जाती है, उसके विपरीत तुम्हें पराक्रमशून्य समझा जायगा और उस दशामें मानो तुम हमलोगोंपर अत्यन्त क्रूरतापूर्ण बर्ताव करनेवाले सिद्ध होओगे ।। सत्यश्रीधर्मयशसां वीर्येणानृण्यमाप्रुहि । भिन्ध्यनीकं युधां श्रेष्ठ अपसव्यमिमान् कुरु
satyāśrīdharmayaśasāṃ vīryeṇānṛṇyam āpruhi | bhindhy anīkaṃ yudhāṃ śreṣṭha apasavyam imān kuru ||
Even though this moment has come, if you do not secure the welfare of your own side, men will judge you the very opposite of the valor and might expected of you: they will deem you devoid of prowess; and in such a state it will be as though you had shown us the utmost cruelty. “By your valor, repay your debt to truth, prosperity, dharma, and fame. O best of fighters, shatter the enemy’s battle-array and drive these men into disorder and retreat.”
