3.11

देवान्भावयतानेन ते देवा भावयन्तु वः ।
परस्परं भावयन्तः श्रेयः परमवाप्स्यथ ॥

దేవాన్భావయతానేన తే దేవా భావయన్తు వః ।
పరస్పరం భావయన్తః శ్రేయః పరమవాప్స్యథ ॥

devānbhāvayatānena te devā bhāvayantu vaḥ |
parasparaṃ bhāvayantaḥ śreyaḥ paramavāpsyatha ||

About chapter 3

Arjuna asks why he should act at all if knowledge is higher than action. Krishna explains that no one can stay without acting even for a moment; the right way is to act selflessly, as an offering (yajña). Leaders must set an example for others. The chapter ends by naming desire and anger as the enemy that clouds wisdom, and how to conquer it.
