Yield not to impotence, O Arjuna, son of Pritha. It does not befit thee. Cast off this mean weakness of the heart! Stand up, O scorcher of the foes!

Do not give in to unmanliness, son of Pritha; it does not suit you. Cast off this petty weakness of heart and rise, scorcher of foes.

Krishna presses the point with a strong word, klaibya, unmanliness or impotence, and tells Arjuna it does not fit him. He calls the weakness kṣudra, small or petty, and names it a weakness of the heart rather than a failure of reason. The two epithets, son of Pritha and scorcher of foes, recall Arjuna's family and his record as a warrior. The verse ends with a command to stand up. Many readers note that Krishna begins with the language of courage before turning to the language of wisdom, meeting Arjuna first on the ground of his own identity.
