Verse 2·5

The body dies but the Self endures forever

Verse

गुरूनहत्वा हि महानुभावान्श्रेयो भोक्तुं भैक्ष्यमपीह लोके ।हत्वार्थकामांस्तु गुरूनिहैवभुञ्जीय भोगान् रुधिरप्रदिग्धान् ॥

gurūnahatvā hi mahānubhāvānśreyo bhoktuṃ bhaikṣyamapīha lokehatvārthakāmāṃstu gurūnihaivabhuñjīya bhogān rudhirapradigdhān

Better in this world to live even on alms than to slay these high-souled Gurus. Slaying these Gurus, I should taste of blood-stained enjoyments even in this world.
