Hitopdesh • Chapter 3 • Shloka 165
तत्संग्रामे मृत्युरेवाश्रीयताम् । इदानीं तदाज्ञानुवर्तनमयुक्तम् । यतः ।
मृतः प्राप्नोति वा स्वर्गं शत्रुं हत्वा सुखानि वा ।
उभावपि हि शूराणां गुणावेतौ सुदुर्लभौ ॥
Death in battle, therefore, should be accepted. It will not be proper for me, now, to act in obedience to his commands. Because, if dead, he (a brave warrior) attains heaven; if he kills the foe, he obtains happiness. These two advantages, which the valiant possess, are very rare.
