I like to assure you, I harbour no ill intent my friend, I think we are getting lost in semantics, that is perhaps is my fault, I have not convey my thoughts properly. My choice of the word ‘reference’ with hindsight wasn’t correct.
Yes it is true I had never seen the word coward in the slokas of Gita, until you provided that link, which translate Napusank as coward.
When I made that statement, it was for sloka 2.2. in mind, and that only for the translation of sloka, that is perhaps why there is a confusion, I would add as already mentioned, none off the 700 slokas and its translations contained that word, for this I should add, I don’t mean the opinions or purports, I am sure if I look hard enough I find that word in the opinions.
I am sorry if I gave you wrong impression, that I have many references on ‘opinions’ on Gita, other then slokas and it translations . My Gita that I read is only Saskrit and its translations, the online Gita I use from Gita society offers only the translations in English, I use Prabhupad’s Gita mainly to get the Sanskrit, that is if I need to post on the forum.
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
