The Blessed Lord said, "O Arjuna, neither in this world nor in the next will there be destruction for him; none, indeed, who does good, O my son, ever comes to grief."

श्रीभगवान् ने कहा -- हे पार्थ ! उस पुरुष का, न तो इस लोक में और न ही परलोक में ही नाश होता है; हे तात ! कोई भी शुभ कर्म करने वाला दुर्गति को नहीं प्राप्त होता है।।
