गुरूनहत्वा हि महानुभावान् श्रेयो भोक्तुं भैक्ष्यमपीह लोके | हत्वार्थकामांस्तु गुरूनिहैव भुञ्जीय भोगान् रुधिरप्रदिग्धान्
gurūnahatvā hi mahānubhāvān śreyo bhoktuṃ bhaikṣyamapīha loke . hatvārthakāmāṃstu gurūnihaiva bhuñjīya bhogān rudhirapradigdhān
與其殺害這些高貴的長輩，不如在此世乞食維生。因為殺害了這些長輩，我們在此世所享受的財富與欲樂，都將沾染鮮血。
Rather than killing the noble-minded elders, it is better in this world to live even on alms. But by killing the elders we shall only be enjoying here the pleasures of wealth and desireable things drenched in blood.
阿周那認為，殺害受人尊敬的師長，即使能帶來物質上的勝利和享受，這些享受也將因沾染罪惡的鮮血而變得毫無意義，甚至不如乞討為生。
. It is good indeed even to go about begging in this world without killing the elders of great dignity; but with greed for wealth, I would not enjoy, by killing my elders, the blood-stained objects of pleasures.
