37221-2 *** CHAPTER TWO
"Some people look at it with utter surprise. Some speak about it saying that it is marvelous some others hear with amazement. But even so none understands its true nature" -29
देही नित्यमवध्योऽयं देहे सर्वस्य भारत । तस्मात्सर्वाणि भूतानि न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि ॥ ३० ॥
"This soul, oh Bharata, is dwelling in bodies of all and can never be slained and hence you should never mourn for anyone." -30
स्वधर्ममपि चावेक्ष्य न विकम्पितुमर्हसि । धाद्धि युद्धाच्छ्रेयोऽन्यत्क्षत्रियस्य न विद्यते ॥ ३१ ॥
"Besides, even considering your duty as a Kshatriya (member of a warrior class) you should not waver because there is nothing more welcome to a Kshatriya than a righteous war."- 31
