الشرح
Krishna repeats a teaching from earlier in the dialogue: one's own dharma (svadharma), even if imperfectly done, is better than another's dharma done well. Acting according to one's nature, one incurs no fault. For Arjuna this is pointed. He had thought of leaving the warrior's path for a renunciant's life. Krishna tells him that following a path that fits his own nature, even with its difficulties, is better than imitating another's.
