तं तथा कृपयाविष्टमश्रुपूर्णाकुलेक्षणम् ।
विषीदन्तमिदं वाक्यमुवाच मधुसूदनः ॥ ६.२६.१ ॥
Madhusūdana spoke these words to him, who was overcome with compassion, his eyes filled with tears and troubled, and who was sinking in grief.
6.26.2
कुतस्त्वा कश्मलमिदं विषमे समुपस्थितम् ।
अनार्यजुष्टमस्वर्ग्यमकीर्तिकरमर्जुन ॥ ६.२६.२ ॥
Arjuna, how has this delusion come upon you in this crisis? It is practised by non-noble men; it does not lead to heaven and it brings dishonor.
6.26.3
क्लैब्यं मा स्म गमः पार्थ नैतत्त्वय्युपपद्यते ।
क्षुद्रं हृदयदौर्बल्यं त्यक्त्वोत्तिष्ठ परंतप ॥ ६.२६.३ ॥
Pārtha, do not yield to unmanliness; it does not befit you. Abandon this base weakness of heart and arise, O scorcher of foes.
6.26.4
कथं भीष्ममहं सङ्ख्ये द्रोणं च मधुसूदन ।
इषुभिः प्रतियोत्स्यामि पूजार्हावरिसूदन ॥ ६.२६.४ ॥
Madhusūdana, how shall I fight Bhīṣma and Droṇa with arrows in battle? Both are worthy of worship, O destroyer of foes.
6.26.5
गुरूनहत्वा हि महानुभावान् ।
श्रेयो भोक्तुं भेक्षमपीह लोके।
हत्वार्थकामांस्तु गुरूनिहैव ।
भुञ्जीय भोगान्रुधिरप्रदिग्धान् ॥ ६.२६.५ ॥
Better to eat even alms-food in this world than to slay these great-souled elders. Yet having slain elders, I would here enjoy pleasures smeared with blood, desiring wealth and gratification.
6.26.6
न चैतद्वीद्मः कतरन्नो गरीयो ।
यद्वा जयम यदि वा नो जयेयुः।
यानेव हत्वा न जिजीविषाम-
स्तेऽवस्थिताः प्रमुखे धार्तराष्ट्राः ॥ ६.२६.६ ॥
We do not know which is better for us, that we conquer or that they conquer us. Those whom, having slain, we would not wish to live, the sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra stand arrayed before us.
6.26.7
कार्पण्यदोषोपहतस्वभावः ।
पृच्छामि त्वां धर्मसंमूढचेताः।

शिष्यस्तेऽहं शाधि मां त्वां प्रपन्नम् ॥ ६.२६.७ ॥
My nature is overcome by the flaw of faintheartedness, and my mind is bewildered about dharma. I ask you: tell me clearly what is truly the highest good. I am your disciple who has taken refuge in you; instruct me.
6.26.8
न हि प्रपश्यामि ममापनुद्या-
द्यच्छोकमुच्छोषणमिन्द्रियाणाम्।
अवाप्य भूमावसपत्नमृद्धं ।
राज्यं सुराणामपि चाधिपत्यम् ॥ ६.२६.८ ॥
I do not see what could drive away this grief of mine, which dries up the senses, even if I were to obtain on earth a prosperous kingdom without rivals, or even the sovereignty of the gods.
6.26.9
एवमुकत्वा हृषीकेशं गुडाकेशं परंतप ।
न योत्स्य इति गोविन्दमुक्त्वा तूष्णीं बभूव ह ॥ ६.२६.९ ॥
Having spoken thus to Hṛṣīkeśa, O scorcher of foes, Guḍākeśa said to Govinda, 'I will not fight,' and then fell silent.
6.26.10
तमुवाच हृषीकेशः प्रहसन्निव भारत ।
सेनयोरुभयोर्मध्ये विषीदन्तमिदं वचः ॥ ६.२६.१० ॥
To him, grieving between the two armies, O Bhārata, Hṛṣīkeśa spoke these words, as if smiling.
6.26.11
अशोच्यानन्वशोचस्त्वं प्रज्ञावादांश्च भाषसे ।
गतासूनगतासूंश्च नानुशोचन्ति पाण्डिताः ॥ ६.२६.११ ॥
You grieve for those who should not be grieved for, yet you speak words of wisdom. The wise grieve neither for the dead nor for the living.
6.26.12
नत्वेवाहं जातु नासं न त्वं नेमे जनाधिपाः ।
न चैव नभविष्यामः सर्वे वयमतः परम् ॥ ६.२६.१२ ॥
Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor these lords of men; and never shall we cease to exist hereafter.
6.26.13
देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा ।
तथा देहान्तरप्राप्तिर्धीरस्तत्र न मुह्यति ॥ ६.२६.१३ ॥
As in this body the embodied one passes through childhood, youth and old age, so too he attains another body; the steady one is not bewildered by it.
6.26.14
मात्रास्पर्शास्तु कौन्तेय शीतोष्णसुखदुःखदाः ।
आगमापायिनोऽनित्स्यास्तांस्तितिक्षस्व भारत ॥ ६.२६.१४ ॥
The contacts of the senses, son of Kuntī, bring cold and heat, pleasure and pain; they come and go and are impermanent. Endure them, descendant of Bharata.
6.26.15
यं हि व्यथयन्त्येते पुरुषं पुरुषर्षभ ।
समदुःखसुखं धीरं सोऽमृतत्वाय कल्पते ॥ ६.२६.१५ ॥
Bull among men, the steady man whom these do not disturb, equal in pleasure and pain, becomes fit for immortality.

उभयोरपि दृष्टोऽन्तस्त्वनयोस्तत्त्वदर्शिभिःक ॥ ६.२६.१६ ॥
Of the unreal there is no being, and of the real there is no non-being; the seers of truth have seen the end of both.
6.26.17
अविनाशि तु तद्विद्धि येन सर्वमिदं ततम् ।
विनाशमव्ययस्यास्य न कश्चित्कर्तुमर्हति ॥ ६.२६.१७ ॥
Know that to be indestructible by which all this is pervaded; no one is able to bring about the destruction of this imperishable one.
6.26.18
अन्तवन्त इमे देहा नित्यस्योक्ताः शरीरिणः ।
अनाशिनोऽप्रमेयस्य तस्माद्युध्यस्व भारत ॥ ६.२६.१८ ॥
These bodies are said to have an end, belonging to the eternal, indestructible, immeasurable embodied one; therefore, descendant of Bharata, fight.
6.26.19
य एनं वेत्ति हन्तारं यश्चैनं मन्यते हतम् ।
उभौ तौ न विजानीतो नायं हन्ति न हन्यते ॥ ६.२६.१९ ॥
He who thinks this one is a slayer, and he who thinks it is slain — neither of them knows: it neither slays nor is slain.
6.26.20
न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि-
न्नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः ।
अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो ।
न हन्तये हन्यमाने शरीरे ॥ ६.२६.२० ॥
It is never born nor does it die; having come into being, it does not come into being again, nor will it come into being. It is unborn, eternal, everlasting and ancient; it is not slain when the body is slain.
6.26.21
वेदाविनाशिनं नित्यं य एनमजमव्ययम् ।
कथं स पुरुषः पार्थ कं घातयति हन्ति कम् ॥ ६.२६.२१ ॥
O Pārtha, how can that man, who knows this one as indestructible, eternal, unborn and imperishable, cause anyone to be slain, or slay anyone?
6.26.22
वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय ।
नवानि गृह्णानि नरोऽपराणि।
तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा-
न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही ॥ ६.२६.२२ ॥
As a man casts off worn-out garments and takes up others that are new, so the embodied one casts off worn-out bodies and enters others that are new.
6.26.23
नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः ।
न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः ॥ ६.२६.२३ ॥
Weapons do not cut this one, fire does not burn it, water does not wet it, and wind does not dry it.
6.26.24
अच्छेद्योऽयमदाह्योऽयमक्लेद्योऽशोष्य एव च ।
नित्यः सर्वगतः स्थाणुरचलोऽयं सनातनः ॥ ६.२६.२४ ॥
This one cannot be cut, cannot be burnt, cannot be wetted, cannot be dried. It is eternal, all-pervading, fixed, immovable and primeval.
6.26.25
अव्यक्तोऽयमचिन्त्योऽयमविकार्योऽयमुच्यते ।
तस्मादेवं विदित्वैनं नानुशोचितुमर्हसि ॥ ६.२६.२५ ॥
This self is said to be unmanifest, unthinkable, and unchangeable. Therefore, knowing it thus, you ought not to grieve.
6.26.26
अथ चैनं नित्यजातं नित्यं वा मन्यसे मृतम् ।
तथापि कत्वं महाबाहो नैनं शोचितुमर्हसि ॥ ६.२६.२६ ॥
Even if you think of him as eternally born or eternally dead, still, O mighty-armed one, you ought not to grieve for him.

तस्मादपरिहार्येऽर्थे न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि ॥ ६.२६.२७ ॥
For death is certain for one who is born, and birth is certain for one who is dead. Therefore, in this unavoidable matter, you ought not to grieve.
6.26.28
अव्यक्तादीनि भूतानि व्यक्तमध्यानि भारत ।
अव्यक्तनिधनान्येन तत्र का परिदेवना ॥ ६.२६.२८ ॥
O Bhārata, beings are unmanifest at their beginning, manifest in their middle, and unmanifest again at their end. What, then, is there to lament?
6.26.29
आश्चर्यवत्पश्यति कश्चिदेन-
माश्चर्यवद्वदति तथैव चान्यः।
आश्चर्यवच्चैनमन्यः श्रृणोति ।
श्रुत्वाऽप्येनं वेद न चैव कश्चित् ॥ ६.२६.२९ ॥
One sees him as a wonder, another speaks of him as a wonder, and another hears of him as a wonder; yet even having heard, no one truly knows him.
6.26.30
देही नित्यमवध्योऽयं देहे सर्वस्य भारत ।
तस्मात्सर्वाणि भूतानि न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि ॥ ६.२६.३० ॥
O Bhārata, the embodied self dwelling in everyone's body is eternally unslayable. Therefore you ought not to grieve for any of the beings.
6.26.31
स्वधर्ममपि चावेक्ष्य न विकम्पितुमर्हसि ।
धर्म्याद्धि युद्धाच्छ्रेयोऽन्यत्क्षत्रियस्य न विद्यते ॥ ६.२६.३१ ॥
Consider your own duty as well, and you should not waver; for a kṣatriya there is no greater good than a righteous war.
6.26.32
यदृच्छया चोपपन्नं स्वर्गद्वारमपावृतम् ।
सुखिनः क्षत्रियाः पार्थ लन्ते युद्धमीदृशम् ॥ ६.२६.३२ ॥
And, son of Pṛthā, the gate of heaven stands open by chance; kṣatriyas are happy to obtain such a war.
6.26.33
अथ चेत्त्वमिमं धर्म्यं संग्रामं न करिष्यसि ।
ततः स्वधर्मं कीर्तिं च हित्वा पापमवाप्स्यसि ॥ ६.२६.३३ ॥
But if you will not wage this righteous battle, then, abandoning your own duty and fame, you will incur sin.
6.26.34
अकीर्तिं चापि भूतानि कथयिष्यन्ति तेऽव्ययाम् ।
संभावितस्य चाकीर्तिर्मरणादतिरिच्यते ॥ ६.२६.३४ ॥
Beings will speak of your everlasting dishonor; and for one who is honored, dishonor is worse than death.
6.26.35
भयाद्रणादुपरतं मंस्यन्ते त्वां महारथाः ।
येषां च त्वं बहुमतो भूत्वा यास्यसि लाघवम् ॥ ६.२६.३५ ॥
The great charioteers will think you withdrew from battle out of fear; and among those who held you in high regard, you will fall into lowliness.

निन्दन्तस्तव सामर्थ्यं ततो दुःखतरं नु किम् ॥ ६.२६.३६ ॥

तस्मादुत्तिष्ठ कौन्तेय युद्धाय कृतनिश्चयः ॥ ६.२६.३७ ॥

बुद्ध्या युक्तो यया पार्थ कर्मबन्धं प्रहास्यसि ॥ ६.२६.३९ ॥

6.26.40
नेहाभिक्रमनाशोऽस्ति प्रत्यवायो न विद्यते ।
स्वल्पमप्यस्य धर्मस्य त्रायते महतो भयात् ॥ ६.२६.४० ॥
Here there is no loss of effort, and no harm is found; even a little of this dharma protects from great fear.
6.26.41
व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धिरेकेह कुरुनन्दन ।
बहुशाखा ह्यनन्ताश्च बुद्धयोऽव्यवसायिनाम् ॥ ६.२६.४१ ॥

वेदवादरताः पार्थ नान्यदस्तीति वादिनः ॥ ६.२६.४२ ॥
Son of Pṛthā, the unwise, delighting in the words of the Vedas, speak this flowery speech, saying there is nothing else.
6.26.43
कामात्मानः स्वर्गपरा जन्मकर्मफलप्रदाम् ।
क्रियाविशेषबहुलां भोगैश्वर्यगतिं प्रति ॥ ६.२६.४३ ॥

व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धिः समाधौ न विधीयते ॥ ६.२६.४४ ॥

6.26.45
त्रैगुण्यविषया वेदा निस्त्रैगुण्यो भवार्जुन ।
निर्द्वन्द्वो नित्यसत्वस्थो निर्योगक्षेम आत्मवान् ॥ ६.२६.४५ ॥
The Vedas deal with the three guṇas; Arjuna, become free of the three guṇas, free of pairs of opposites, ever established in goodness, free from acquisition and preservation, self-possessed.
6.26.46
यावानर्थ उदपाने सर्वतः संप्लुतोदके ।
तावान्सर्वेषु वेदेषु ब्राह्मणस्य विजानतः ॥ ६.२६.४६ ॥
As much purpose as a well serves when water floods on every side, so much serves all the Vedas for the brahmin who knows.

सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते ॥ ६.२६.४८ ॥
Established in yoga, Dhanaṃjaya, abandon attachment and act; being equal in success and failure, equanimity is called yoga.

दूरेण ह्यवरं कर्म बुद्धियोगाद्धनंजय ।
बुद्धौ शरणमन्विच्छ कृपणाः फलहेतवः ॥ ६.२६.४९ ॥
Arjuna, far inferior is action compared with the yoga of understanding. Seek refuge in understanding; wretched are those who act for the sake of results.

तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योगः कर्मसु कौशलम् ॥ ६.२६.५० ॥
One endowed with understanding abandons both good and evil deeds even in this world. Therefore apply yourself to yoga; yoga is skill in action.

जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ताः पदं गच्छन्त्यनामयम् ॥ ६.२६.५१ ॥
The wise, endowed with understanding, abandoning the fruit born of action, freed from the bond of birth, go to that state beyond all disease.

स्थितधीः किं प्रभाषेत किमासीत व्रजेत किं ॥ ६.२६.५४ ॥
Kṛṣṇa, what is the speech of one of steady wisdom, fixed in samādhi? How does one of steady understanding speak, how does he sit, and how does he walk?

प्रजहाति यदा कामान्सर्वान्पार्थ मनोगतान् ।
आत्मन्येवात्मना तुष्टः स्थितप्रज्ञस्तदोच्यते ॥ ६.२६.५५ ॥

वीतरागभयक्रोधः स्थितधीर्मुनिरुच्यते ॥ ६.२६.५६ ॥

नाभिनन्दति न द्वेष्टि तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता ॥ ६.२६.५७ ॥
He who is without attachment everywhere, who neither rejoices nor hates on obtaining good or evil, his wisdom is firmly established.

यदा संहरते चायं कूर्मोऽङ्गानीव सर्वशः ।
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता ॥ ६.२६.५८ ॥
When one withdraws his senses entirely from their objects, as a tortoise draws in its limbs, then his wisdom is firmly established.
6.26.59
विषया विनिवर्तन्ते निराहारस्य देहिनः ।
रसवर्जं रसोऽप्यस्य परं दृष्ट्वा निवर्तते ॥ ६.२६.५९ ॥
Sense objects turn away from the embodied one who abstains from food; yet his craving (rasa) also turns away only on seeing the Supreme.
6.26.60
यततो ह्यपि कौन्तेय पुरुषस्य विपश्चितः ।
इन्द्रियाणि प्रमाथीनि हरन्ति प्रसभं मनः ॥ ६.२६.६० ॥
O son of Kuntī, even of a wise man who strives, the turbulent senses forcibly carry away the mind.
6.26.61
तानि सर्वाणि संयम्य युक्त आसीत मत्परः ।
वशे हि यस्येन्द्रियामि तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता ॥ ६.२६.६१ ॥
Having restrained all of them, united in yoga and intent on Me, one should sit; for the wisdom of him whose senses are under control is firmly established.
6.26.62
ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते ।
सङ्गात्संजायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥ ६.२६.६२ ॥
For a man who dwells on sense objects, attachment to them arises; from attachment desire is born, and from desire anger arises.
6.26.63
क्रोधाद्भवति संमोहः संमोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः ।
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद्बुदिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ॥ ६.२६.६३ ॥
From anger comes bewilderment; from bewilderment, confusion of memory. From loss of memory the intellect is destroyed, and from destruction of intellect a man perishes.
6.26.64
रागद्वेषवियुक्तैस्तु विषयानिन्द्रियैश्चरन् ।
आत्मवश्यैर्विधेयात्मा प्रसादमधिगच्छति ॥ ६.२६.६४ ॥

प्रसादे सर्वदुःखानां हानिरस्योपजायते ।
प्रसन्नचेतसो ह्याशु बुद्धिः पर्यवतिष्ठते ॥ ६.२६.६५ ॥
In serenity, all his sorrows are destroyed; for the intellect of one whose mind is serene is soon firmly established.
6.26.66
नास्ति बुद्धिरयुक्तस्य न चायुक्तस्य भावना ।
न चाभावयतः शान्तिरशान्तस्य कुतः सुखम् ॥ ६.२६.६६ ॥
There is no wisdom for the one who is not united, nor is there contemplation for the one who is not united. For one without contemplation there is no peace, and for one without peace, how can there be happiness?
6.26.67
इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनुविधीयते ।
तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि ॥ ६.२६.६७ ॥
As the wind carries a boat off course on the water, so the mind that follows the wandering senses carries away his wisdom.
6.26.68
तस्माद्यस्य महाबाहो निगृहीतानि सर्वशः ।
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता ॥ ६.२६.६८ ॥
Therefore, O mighty-armed one, the wisdom of him whose senses are wholly restrained from their objects is firmly established.
6.26.69
या निशा सर्वभूतानां तस्यां जागर्तिं संयमी ।
यस्यां जाग्रति भूतानि सा निशा पश्यतो मुनेः ॥ ६.२६.६९ ॥
That which is night for all beings, in it the self-controlled one stays awake; that in which beings are awake is night for the seeing sage.
6.26.70
आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं ।
समुद्रमापः प्रविशन्ति यद्वत्।
तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे ।
स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी ॥ ६.२६.७० ॥
As waters enter the ocean, which is continually filled yet remains fixed in its place, so all desires enter him; he attains peace, not the one who craves desires.
6.26.71
विहाय कामान्यः सर्वान्पुमांश्चरति निःस्पृहः ।
निर्ममो निरहंकारः स शान्तिमधिगच्छति ॥ ६.२६.७१ ॥
The man who, abandoning all desires, moves about free from longing, without the sense of 'mine' and without egoism, attains peace.
6.26.72
एषा ब्राह्मी स्थितिः पार्थ नैनां प्राप्य विमुह्यति ।
स्थित्वास्यामन्तकालेऽपि ब्रह्म निर्वाणमृच्छति ॥ ६.२६.७२ ॥
This, O son of Pṛthā, is the state of Brahman; having attained it, one is not deluded. Abiding in it, even at the time of death, one attains liberation in Brahman.
