एको ह्यपि बहून्हन्ति घ्नन्त्येकं बहवोऽप्युत । शूरं कापुरुषो हन्ति अयशस्वी यशस्विनम्॥५-७०-५१॥
Even one person may kill many, and many may kill one. A coward may kill a hero; one without honor may kill one who is honored.
english translation
जयश्चैवोभयोर्दृष्ट उभयोश्च पराजयः । तथैवापचयो दृष्टो व्यपयाने क्षयव्ययौ॥५-७०-५२॥
Victory is seen on both sides, and defeat is also seen on both sides. Likewise, decline is observed: in withdrawal there are losses and expenditures.
english translation
सर्वथा वृजिनं युद्धं को घ्नन्न प्रतिहन्यते । हतस्य च हृषीकेश समौ जयपराजयौ॥५-७०-५३॥
War is, in every way, a harmful enterprise: who, while striking, is not struck in return? And for the one who is killed, O Hṛṣīkeśa, victory and defeat are the same.
english translation
पराजयश्च मरणान्मन्ये नैव विशिष्यते । यस्य स्याद्विजयः कृष्ण तस्याप्यपचयो ध्रुवम्॥५-७०-५४॥
Defeat, I think, is not really different from death. And even for one who attains victory, O Kṛṣṇa, decline is certain.
english translation
अन्ततो दयितं घ्नन्ति केचिदप्यपरे जनाः । तस्याङ्ग बलहीनस्य पुत्रान्भ्रातॄनपश्यतः । निर्वेदो जीविते कृष्ण सर्वतश्चोपजायते॥५-७०-५५॥
In the end, some people even strike down those who are dear to them. When a man has grown weak in body and no longer sees his sons and brothers, O Kṛṣṇa, disillusionment with life arises from every side.
