Shloka 10
अध्याय ४ — दुर्योधनस्य असंधि-निश्चयः
Duryodhana’s Refusal of Reconciliation
Devanagari script
वधे चैव परो धर्मस्तथाधर्म: पलायने । ते सम घोरां समापन्ना जीविकां जीवितार्थिन:,'युद्धमें शत्रुकोी मारना या उसके हाथसे मारा जाना दोनों ही उत्तम धर्म है और युद्धसे भागनेपर महान् पाप होता है। सभी क्षत्रिय जीवन-निर्वाहकी इच्छा रखते हुए उसी घोर जीविकाका आश्रय लेते हैं
Translation
“Na guerra, matar o inimigo ou ser morto por sua mão — ambas as coisas são o dharma supremo; mas fugir do combate é grande adharma, grave pecado. Todos os kṣatriyas, desejosos de viver e de manter o sustento, amparam-se nesse ofício terrível.”
