[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 1.9 · spoken by Duryodhan ]
After naming legends — he waves at the nameless. "And so many others, ready to die for me."
He names the maharathis and then — "and many others, all ready to give their lives for me." They don't get names. Only their deaths do.
SANSKRIT
अन्ये च बहवः शूरा मदर्थे त्यक्तजीविताः । नानाशस्त्रप्रहरणाः सर्वे युद्धविशारदाः ॥१-९॥
हिंदी
और अनेक शूरवीर भी हैं, जो मेरे लिए अपना जीवन त्यागने को तत्पर हैं — अनेक अस्त्रों से सुसज्जित, सभी युद्ध में निपुण।
KRISHNA’S LINE
“The leader who can't name you is the one asking you to die for him.”
