वेदाविनाशिनं नित्यं य एनमजमव्ययम् | कथं स पुरुषः पार्थ कं घातयति हन्ति कम्
vedāvināśinaṃ nityaṃ ya enamajamavyayam . kathaṃ sa puruṣaḥ pārtha kaṃ ghātayati hanti kam
噢，波陀之子，誰知此（真我）為不朽、永恆、不生、不滅，那人又如何能殺誰，或令誰被殺呢！
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.]
開悟的聖者，透過直接認知或靈性體驗（Anubhava）而知道不變且不朽的「真我」，他無法進行殺戮行為，亦無法令他人殺戮。
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.
