वेदाविनाशिनं नित्यं य एनमजमव्ययम् | कथं स पुरुषः पार्थ कं घातयति हन्ति कम्
vedāvināśinaṃ nityaṃ ya enamajamavyayam . kathaṃ sa puruṣaḥ pārtha kaṃ ghātayati hanti kam
パールトハよ、この者(アートマン)を不滅、永遠、不生、不変と知る者は、いかにして、誰を殺し、あるいは誰を殺させることができようか!
O Partha, he who knows this One as indestructible, eternal, birthless and undecaying, how and whom does that person kill, or whom does he cause to be killed! [This is not a estion but only an emphatic denial.-Tr.]
直接的な認識や精神的なアヌバーヴァ(体験)を通して、不変で不滅の自己(アートマン)を知る悟りを開いた賢者は、殺害行為を行うことはできません。また、他者に殺害させることもありません。
The enlightened sage who knows the immutable and indestructible Self through direct cognition or spiritual Anubhava (experience) cannot do the act of slaying. He cannot cause another to slay also.
