Transliteration
tato 'bravīd vāsudevo dhanañjayam idaṁ vacaḥ | pārtha pārtha mahābāho na naḥ kālātyayo bhavet ||
Translation
Then Vāsudeva addressed Dhanañjaya with these words: “Pārtha, Pārtha, mighty-armed one—let there be no loss of time for us.” In the press of battle, Kṛṣṇa urges Arjuna to act without delay, implying that right action (dharma) must be carried out with timely resolve, not postponed until opportunity and duty slip away.
