भयाद्रणादुपरतं मंस्यन्ते त्वां महारथाः ।
येषां च त्वं बहुमतो भूत्वा यास्यसि लाघवम् ॥
bhayādraṇāduparataṃ maṃsyante tvāṃ mahārathāḥ |
yeṣāṃ ca tvaṃ bahumato bhūtvā yāsyasi lāghavam ||
Swami Sivananda (1887–1963)Bhagavad Gita
35. The great car-warriors will think that thou hast withdrawn from the battle through fear;
and thou wilt be lightly held by them who have thought much of thee.
Bannanje Govindacharya (1936–2020)Bhagavad Gita Pravachana
ಭಯಾತ್ ರಣಾತ್ ಉಪರತಮ್ ಮಂಸ್ಯಂತೇ ತ್ವಾಮ್ ಮಹಾರಥಾಃ |
ಯೇಷಾಮ್ ಚ ತ್ವಮ್ ಬಹುಮತಃ ಭೂತ್ವಾ ಯಾಸ್ಯಸಿ ಲಾಘವಮ್- ಯಾರಿಗೆ ನೀನು ಘನತೆಯ
ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದೆಯೋ ಅಂತಹ ಹಿರಿಯ ತೇರಾಳುಗಳೆದುರು ಹಗುರಾಗುವೆ; ಅವರು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಹೆದರಿ
ಹೋರಾಡಲು ಹಿಂಜರಿದ ಹೇಡಿ ಎಂದು ಭಾವಿಸುತ್ತಾರೆ.
Bibek Debroy (1955–2024)The Bhagavad Gita
(35)
‘These great warriors will think that you have withdrawn from the war
because of your fear. And those who have so far respected you will lessen
their opinion of you.’
