अवाच्यवादांश्च बहून्वदिष्यन्ति तवाहिताः । निन्दन्तस्तव सामर्थ्यं ततो दुःखतरं नु किम्॥६-२४-३६॥

Your adversaries will speak many improper words, disparaging your capability; what could be more distressing than that?

english translation

हतो वा प्राप्स्यसि स्वर्गं जित्वा वा भोक्ष्यसे महीम् । तस्मादुत्तिष्ठ कौन्तेय युद्धाय कृतनिश्चयः॥६-२४-३७॥

If you fall, you will attain heaven; if you prevail, you will enjoy the earth. Therefore, O Kaunteya, rise with resolve for war.

english translation

सुखदुःखे समे कृत्वा लाभालाभौ जयाजयौ । ततो युद्धाय युज्यस्व नैवं पापमवाप्स्यसि॥६-२४-३८॥

Having made pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat the same, then engage in war; thus you will not incur demerit.

english translation

एषा तेऽभिहिता सांख्ये बुद्धिर्योगे त्विमां शृणु । बुद्ध्या युक्तो यया पार्थ कर्मबन्धं प्रहास्यसि॥६-२४-३९॥

This understanding has been explained to you in Sāṅkhya; now hear it in Yoga. Endowed with this understanding, O Pārtha, you will cast off the bondage of action (karma).

english translation

नेहाभिक्रमनाशोऽस्ति प्रत्यवायो न विद्यते । स्वल्पमप्यस्य धर्मस्य त्रायते महतो भयात्॥६-२४-४०॥

In this discipline no effort is lost, nor does any adverse consequence arise. Even a small measure of this dharma protects one from great fear.
