Chapter II · Śloka 32
यदृच्छया चोपलब्धं स्वर्गद्वारमपावृतम् |
सुखिनः क्षत्रियाः पार्थ लभन्ते युद्धमीदृशम् ||
सुखिनः क्षत्रियाः पार्थ लभन्ते युद्धमीदृशम् ||
yadṛcchayā copabdhaṃ svarga-dvāram apāvṛtam |
sukhinaḥ kṣatriyāḥ pārtha labhante yuddham īdṛśam ||
sukhinaḥ kṣatriyāḥ pārtha labhante yuddham īdṛśam ||
O Partha, happy are the warriors to whom such fighting opportunities come unsought, opening for them the doors of the heavenly planets.
A just war that arrives unsought is, for a warrior, a gift — not a curse. It is a gate opened by the cosmos itself. Arjuna stands before it not because he sought glory, but because dharma itself has summoned him to this hour.
