SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 2 Text 6

na caitad vidmah kataran no gariyo
yad va jayemayadi va no jayeyuh
yan eva hatva na jijivisamas
te 'vasthitah pramukhe dhartarastrah

na--nor; ca--also; etat--this; vidmah--do we know; katarat--which; nah--for us; gariyah--better; yat va--whether; jayema--we may conquer; yadi--if; va--or; nah--us; jayeyuh--they conquer; yan--those who; eva--certainly; hatva--by killing; na--never; jijivisamah--we would want to live; te--all of them; avasthitah--are situated; pramukhe--in the front; dhartarastrah--the sons of Dhrtarastra.

TRANSLATION

Nor do we know which is better--conquering them or being conquered by them. If we killed the sons of Dhrtarastra, we should not care to live. Yet they are now standing before us on the battlefield.
