Translation
ENGLISH
Happy are the warriors, son of Pritha, who get such a battle that comes of its own accord, an open door to heaven.
हिंदी
हे पार्थ, अपने आप मिला हुआ और स्वर्ग के खुले द्वार जैसा ऐसा युद्ध भाग्यशाली क्षत्रियों को ही मिलता है।
Explanation
Arjuna did not seek out this war; it has come before him of its own accord after the efforts for peace failed. Shri Krishna says that such an opportunity to do one’s duty is good fortune, not a burden.
