अर्जुनविषादयोग

अन्ये च बहवः शूरा मदर्थे त्यक्तजीविताः | नानाशस्त्रप्रहरणाः सर्वे युद्धविशारदाः ||१-९||

anye ca bahavaḥ śūrā madarthe tyaktajīvitāḥ . nānāśastrapraharaṇāḥ sarve yuddhaviśāradāḥ ||1-9||

In plain words

You are invited to recognize the heavy cost of conflict and the power of loyalty. When you see others risking everything for a cause, reflect on your own dharma, or righteous duty. Even in misguided battles, people sacrifice their lives, showing how deeply bound we are to our actions and relationships in this world.

Translation

1.9 And there are many other heroes who are determined to give up their lives for my sake. They all are experts in using manifold missiles and are dexterous in battle.
