अपापोऽसि यथा पुत्र निहतः पापकर्मणा। तेन सत्येन गच्छाशु ये लोकास्त्वस्त्रयोधिनाम्॥ यां हि शूरा गतिं यान्ति संग्रामेष्वनिवर्तिनः। हतास्त्वभिमुखाः पुत्र गतिं तां परमां व्रज॥
apāpo'si yathā putra nihataḥ pāpakarmaṇā| tena satyena gacchāśu ye lokāstvastrayodhinām|| yāṃ hi śūrā gatiṃ yānti saṃgrāmeṣvanivartinaḥ| hatāstvabhimukhāḥ putra gatiṃ tāṃ paramāṃ vraja||
English Meaning
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.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
