अङ्गावेक्षस्व धर्मं त्वं यथा सृष्टः स्वयंभुवा । उरस्तः क्षत्रियः सृष्टो बाहुवीर्योपजीविता । क्रूराय कर्मणे नित्यं प्रजानां परिपालने॥५-१३०-७॥

Consider your dharma in light of how Svayaṃbhū, the Self-born, created you. The kṣatriya was formed from the chest, living by the strength of the arms—ever for stern duties: the protection and governance of the people.
