'प्रज्ञयाऽभ्यधिकाञ्यूरान्गुणयुक्तान्बहूनपि ।
जयन्त्यल्पतरा येन तन्निबोध विशांपते ॥
 
Arjuna-
"King, hearken how the inferior conquer
even those who are superior in knowledge,
who are (greater) warriors, (more) endowed
with qualities and (greater) in numbers.
 
'न तथा बलवीर्याभ्यां जयन्ति विजिगीषवः ।
यथा सत्यानृशंस्याभ्यां धर्मेणैवोमेद्यन च ॥
 
"Those who desire victory achieve it not
so much by strength and valour as by their
(qualities of) truthfulness, benevolence, and
effort which is strictly righteous.
 
' त्यक्त्वाऽधर्म तथा सर्वे धर्म चोत्तममास्थिताः ।
युध्यध्वमनहङ्कारा यतो धर्मस्ततो जयः ॥
 
Avoiding Adharma and basing your-
selves on best Dharma, fight without
egoism; where Dharma is, there victory is
