### [2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.gita*vulgate.2.3)

klaibyaṃ mā sma gamaḥ pārtha naitat tvayy  
upapadyate  
kṣudraṃ hṛdayadaurbalyaṃ tyaktvottiṣṭha paraṃtapa

> The Deity said:  
> How (comes it that) this delusion, O Arguna! which is discarded by the good, which excludes from heaven, and occasions infamy, has overtaken you in this (place of) peril? Be not effeminate, O son of Prithâ! it is not worthy of you. Cast off this base weakness of heart, and arise, O terror of (your) foes!  
> — Kashinath Trimbak Telang 1882, The Bhagavadgîtâ (Sacred Books of the East, vol. 8)
