Bhagavad Gita 18.43
शौर्यं तेजो धृतिर्दाक्ष्यं युद्धे चाप्यपलायनम्।दानमीश्वरभावश्च क्षात्रं कर्म स्वभावजम्॥
śauryaṃ tejo dhṛtirdākṣyaṃ yuddhe cāpyapalāyanam |dānamīśvarabhāvaśca kṣātraṃ karma svabhāvajam ||
Prowess, splendor, firmness, dexterity, and not fleeing from battle, generosity, and lordliness are the duties of the Kshatriyas, born of their own nature.
Valor, glory, firmness, skill, generosity, steadiness in battle, and the ability to rule—these constitute the duty of a soldier. They flow from his own nature.
