युद्धाय क्षत्रियः सृष्टः संजयेह जयाय च । क्रूराय कर्मणे नित्यं प्रजानां परिपालने । जयन्वा वध्यमानो वा प्राप्नोतीन्द्रसलोकताम्॥५-१३३-११॥
A kṣatriya is fashioned for the stratagems of war—for conquest here and for victory. In the unceasing rule and protection of his subjects, he is bound to stern duties. Whether he triumphs or is struck down, he attains the world of Indra.
