Shloka 37
युध्यस्व निरहड़्कारो बलवीर्यव्यपाश्रय: । धम्यद्धि युद्धाच्छेयो 5न्यत् क्षत्रियस्य न विद्यते
yudhyasva nirahaṅkāro balavīryavyapāśrayaḥ | dharmyād dhi yuddhāc chreyo 'nyat kṣatriyasya na vidyate ||
ភីṣ្មៈបានមានព្រះវាចា៖ «ចូរប្រយុទ្ធដោយគ្មានអហങ്കារ ពឹងផ្អែកលើកម្លាំង និងវីរភាពរបស់អ្នក។ សម្រាប់ក្សត្រីយៈ មិនមានអ្វីជាកុសលខ្ពស់ជាងសង្គ្រាមដែលស្របតាមធម៌ឡើយ»។
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma teaches that a warrior should act without ego and perform his ordained duty; for a kṣatriya, engaging in a dharma-aligned battle is presented as the highest welfare (śreyas), because it is action governed by righteous obligation rather than personal pride.
In Bhīṣma Parva, Bhīṣma addresses a warrior on the battlefield, urging him to fight with humility (without ahaṅkāra) and to rely on trained strength and valor, framing the coming combat as a duty-bound, righteous engagement rather than a private quarrel.
