BHAGAVAD-GITA 2:35

 

bhayad ranad uparatam

mamsyante tvam maha-rathah

yesam ca tvam bahu-mato

bhutva yasyasi laghavam

 

WORD FOR WORD

 

bhayat--out of fear; ranat--from the battlefield; uparatam--ceased;

mamsyante--they will consider; tvam--you; maha-rathah--the great

generals; yesam--for whom; ca--also; tvam--you; bahu-matah--in great

estimation; bhutva--having been; yasyasi--you will go;

laghavam--decreased in value.

 

TRANSLATION

 

The great generals who have highly esteemed your name and fame will

think that you have left the battlefield out of fear only, and thus

they will consider you insignificant.

 

PURPORT

 

Lord Krsna continued to give His verdict to Arjuna: "Do not think that

the great generals like Duryodhana, Karna, and other contemporaries

will think that you have left the battlefield out of compassion for

your brothers and grandfather. They will think that you have left out

of fear for your life. And thus their high estimation of your

personality will go to hell."
