Battle is enshrined as your sva-dharma. If you fail to perform it (due to lack of knowledge on what is dharma/adharma), your reputation will be destroyed forever. In addition, due to the avoidance of sva-dharma, you will accrue an enormous sin from which there's no relief

There lived a brahmana by name Devasharma in the south. He lived an ideal life following his household duties (tretagni upasana, bhagavad aradhana, helping atithi etc..). He also performed many yajna-s with utmost shraddha
Even after leading an ideal life, his mind was at great unease. He was very disturbed & wanted a solution to it
He went to a nearby forest where tapasvi-s were meditating. He did all kind of sushrusha (service) to them & finally one managed to tell his problem to one of them
That rishi suggested him to meet a cow-herder by name Mitravan in a place called Punya near Godavari Banks.
Devasharma met him at a grazing land in Punya-nagari. His face was absolutely shining & radiating with great calm.
