	~~INTRODUCTION TEXT TO BE WRITTEN~~		When one is under the spell of the modes of material nature, one should follow the prescribed rules for his particular situation and should not imitate others.

As such, for a kṣatriya it is better to be vanquished following the rules of violence than to imitate a brāhmaṇa who follows the principles of nonviolence.
