Verse
त इमेऽवस्थिता युद्धे प्राणांस्त्यक्त्वा धनानि च ।आचार्याः पितरः पुत्रास् तथैव च पितामहाः ॥
ta ime’vasthitā yuddhe prāṇāṃstyaktvā dhanāni caācāryāḥ pitaraḥ putrās tathaiva ca pitāmahāḥ
What is kingdom to us, O Govinda, what enjoyment, what even life? Those for whose sake we desire kingdom, enjoyments and pleasures, they stand here in battle, abandoning life and riches — teachers, fathers, sons, as well as grandsires, mother’s brothers, fathers-in-law, grandsons, brothers-in-law, and other kith and kin; these I would not consent to slay, though myself slain, O Madhusudana, even for the kingdom of the three worlds; how then for earth? What pleasures can be ours after killing the sons of Dhritarashtra. O Janardana?
Gītā 1·33
