न काङ्क्षे विजयं कृष्ण न च राज्यं सुखानि च | किं नो राज्येन गोविन्द किं भोगैर्जीवितेन वा
na kāṅkṣe vijayaṃ kṛṣṇa na ca rājyaṃ sukhāni ca . kiṃ no rājyena govinda kiṃ bhogairjīvitena vā
奎師那啊，我既不渴望勝利，也不希求王國和種種享樂。戈文達啊，我們要這王國何用？要這些享樂和生命又有何用？
1.34 O Govinda! What need do we have of a kingdom, or what (need) of enjoyments and livelihood? Those for whom kingdom, enjoyments and pleasures ae desired by us, viz teachers, uncles, fathers-in-law, grandsons, brothers-in-law as also relatives-those very ones stand arrayed for battle risking their lives and wealth.
此處阿周那（Arjuna）向奎師那（Krishna）表達他對戰爭勝利、王國及世俗享樂的厭倦與不願，質疑這些事物在殺戮親族後還有何意義。
