You, my son, are sinless, although slain by this one who has done an unrighteous act; and by the force of this truth , do you repair to the world of warriors. Do you, O son, go the supreme way that is gone by heroes who without turning back from the fight, are slain in open encounter.
अपापोऽसि यथा पुत्र निहतः पापकर्मणा। तेन सत्येन गच्छाशु ये लोकास्त्वस्त्रयोधिनाम्॥ यां हि शूरा गतिं यान्ति संग्रामेष्वनिवर्तिनः। हतास्त्वभिमुखाः पुत्र गतिं तां परमां व्रज॥
