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 ।।
