क्लैब्यं मा स्म गमः पार्थ नैतत्त्वय्युपपद्यते ।
क्षुद्रं हृदयदौर्बल्यं त्यक्त्वोत्तिष्ठ परन्तप ॥ ३ ॥
klaibyaṃ mā sma gamaḥ pārtha naitattvayyupapadyate
kṣudraṃ hṛdayadaurbalyaṃ tyaktvottiṣṭha parantapa
klaibyaṃ mā sma gamaḥ pārtha naitattvayyupapadyate
kṣudraṃ hṛdayadaurbalyaṃ tyaktvottiṣṭha parantapa
Word by word
Translation
Do not yield to unmanliness, son of Pritha; it does not become you. Cast off this petty weakness of heart and stand up, scorcher of foes.
हे पार्थ, कायरता को मत अपना; यह तुझे शोभा नहीं देती। हे परंतप, हृदय की इस तुच्छ दुर्बलता को छोड़कर उठ खड़ा हो।
Explanation
Shri Krishna does not begin by explaining philosophy; instead he reminds Arjuna of his own nature. The forms of address "Partha" (son of Pritha, that is, Kunti) and "Parantapa" (scorcher of foes) point to his lineage and his valour. "Uttishtha" (arise) is the first command of this chapter.
