कालोपपन्नां रुचिरां मनस्विनां उवाच वाचं पुरुषप्रवीरः । हे विप्रचित्ते नमुचे पुलोमन् मयानर्वञ्छम्बर मे श‍ृणुध्वम् ।। ६-१०-३१ ।।

sanskrit

According to his position and the time and circumstances, Vṛtrāsura, the hero among heroes, spoke words that were much to be appreciated by thoughtful men. He called to the heroes of the demons, “O Vipracitti! O Namuci! O Pulomā! O Maya, Anarvā and Śambara! Please hear me and do not flee.” ।। 6-10-31 ।।

जातस्य मृत्युर्ध्रुव एव सर्वतः प्रतिक्रिया यस्य न चेह कॢप्ता । लोको यशश्चाथ ततो यदि ह्यमुं को नाम मृत्युं न वृणीत युक्तम् ।। ६-१०-३२ ।।

sanskrit

Vṛtrāsura said: All living entities who have taken birth in this material world must die. Surely, no one in this world has found any means to be saved from death. Even providence has not provided a means to escape it. Under the circumstances, death being inevitable, if one can gain promotion to the higher planetary systems and be always celebrated here by dying a suitable death, what man will not accept such a glorious death? ।। 6-10-32 ।।

द्वौ सम्मताविह मृत्यू दुरापौ यद्ब्रह्मसन्धारणया जितासुः । कलेवरं योगरतो विजह्याद्यदग्रणीर्वीरशयेऽनिवृत्तः ।। ६-१०-३३ ।।

sanskrit

There are two ways to meet a glorious death, and both are very rare. One is to die after performing mystic yoga, especially bhakti-yoga, by which one can control the mind and living force and die absorbed in thought of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The second is to die on the battlefield, leading the army and never showing one’s back. These two kinds of death are recommended in the śāstra as glorious. ।। 6-10-33 ।।
