Translation

It would be better to live in this world by begging than to live at the cost of the lives of great souls who are my teachers. Even though desiring worldly gain, they are superiors. If they are killed, everything we enjoy will be tainted with blood.

Geriau elgetaujant stumti dienas šiame pasaulyje, negu gyventi didžiųjų sielų – savo mokytojų gyvybės kaina. Nors juos užvaldęs žemiškas godulys, bet jie vyresnieji. Jeigu jie žus, viskas, kuo mėgausimės, bus sutepta krauju.

Purport

According to scriptural codes, a teacher who engages in an abominable action and has lost his sense of discrimination is fit to be abandoned. Bhīṣma and Droṇa were obliged to take the side of Duryodhana because of his financial assistance, although they should not have accepted such a position simply on financial considerations. Under the circumstances, they have lost the respectability of teachers. But Arjuna thinks that nevertheless they remain his superiors, and therefore to enjoy material profits after killing them would mean to enjoy spoils tainted with blood.

KOMENTARAS: Dvasinio gyvenimo kodeksas liepia atsisakyti mokytojo, kuris bjauriai pasielgė ir neskiria gera nuo bloga. Bhīṣma ir Droṇa buvo priversti stoti Duryodhanos pusėn, nes jis rėmė juos pinigais, tačiau jiems nederėjo taip elgtis vien dėl finansinio išskaičiavimo. Taip jie prarado teisę būti gerbiami kaip mokytojai. Tačiau Arjuna juos tebelaiko pagarbos vertais vyresniaisiais ir mano, kad juos nužudžius įgytas laimikis bus suteptas krauju.
