क्व चारण्यं क्वच क्षात्रं क्व जटाः क्व च पालनम् | ईदृशं व्याहतं कर्म न भवान्कर्तुमर्हति || २-१०६-१८
Where is the forest and where is kshatriya's duty? Where are matted locks and where is governance of the kingdom? It does not behave you to do such acts antithetical to each other. [2-106-18]
Will any kshatriya, setting aside his first duty, follow an uncertain course of piety which is contrary to his dharma and whose impact may be felt in a remote future. [2-106-20]
