Svadharmam api chaavekshya na vikampitum arhasi
Dharmyaaddhi yuddhaacchreyo’nyat kshatriyasya na vidyate

Sanskrit: 

स्वधर्म अपिचावेक्ष्य न वीकम्पितुमर्हसि
धर्म्यात् हि युद्धात् श्रेयोन्यत् क्षत्रियस्य न विद्यते

Oriya: 

ସ୍ଵଧର୍ମ ଅପିଚାବେକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ନ ବିକମ୍ପିତୁମର୍ହସି
ଧର୍ମ୍ୟାତ୍ ହି ୟୁଦ୍ଧ୍ୟାତ୍ ଶ୍ରେୟୋନ୍ୟତ୍ କ୍ଷତ୍ରିୟସ୍ୟ ନ ବିଦ୍ୟତେ

Selected word meaning:
sva dharmam - one's own duty (natural righteousness), api - moreover, cha - indeed, aveksya - considering, na - never, vikampitum - to hesitate, arhasi - you should not, dharmyaat - for righteousness, hi - indeed, yuddhaat - than fighting, sreyah - more appropriate endeavor, anyat - anything else, kshatriyasya - of the ksatriya (upholder of justice), na - does not, vidyate - exist

Translation:
Moreover, considering your duty as a kshtriya, you should not waver; indeed for kshtriya (upholder of justice), there does not exist a more appropriate endeavor than a battle for justice.
