18.59
यदहङ्कारमाश्रित्य न योत्स्य इति मन्यसे । मिथ्यैप व्यवसायस्ते प्रकृतिस्त्वां नियोक्ष्यति ॥ १८-५९ ॥
yadahaṅkāramāśritya na yotsya iti manyase | mithyaipa vyavasāyaste prakṛtistvāṃ niyokṣyati || 18-59 ||
— if, resorting to egoism ; — you think 'I will not fight' ; — vain is this resolve of yours ; — nature will compel you

If, resorting to egoism, you think 'I will not fight', vain is this resolve of yours; your own nature will compel you.
