"Arjuna, Arjuna, Bibhatsu, hear my faithful word: for the sake of which a kshatriya woman bears [a son] -- that hour has come. If in this hour that has come you do not attain the higher good, having found yourself in an unworthy state, you will display faintheartedness. Before truth, good, dharma, glory, through valor attain blamelessness; cleave the [enemy] array, O best of fighters, finish off these [foes], O Savyasachin."

Bhima reminds his brother of the meaning of a kshatriya's birth: "the hour has come for the sake of which a kshatriya woman bears a son." Notable is how valor here is presented as the repayment of a debt -- to truth, glory, dharma. The verse teaches that there are hours in which everything a person has lived for is decided; and to let such an hour slip from weakness is not merely a lapse but a betrayal of one's very purpose in being born, a debt that must be paid with valor.
