हतो वा प्राप्स्यसि स्वर्ग जित्वा वा भोक्ष्यसे महीम् । तस्मादुत्तिष्ठ कौन्तेय युद्धाय कृतनिश्चय:,या तो तू युद्धमें मारा जाकर स्वर्गको प्राप्त होगा अथवा संग्राममें जीतकर पृथ्वीका राज्य भोगेगा। इस कारण हे अर्जुन! तू युद्धके लिये निश्चय करके खड़ा हो जा
hato vā prāpsyasi svargaṁ jitvā vā bhokṣyase mahīm | tasmād uttiṣṭha kaunteya yuddhāya kṛta-niścayaḥ ||
Санджая сказал: «Пав в битве, ты достигнешь небес; победив же, будешь владеть землёй. Потому восстань, о сын Кунти, — твёрдо решив сражаться».
