Besides, I do not see any good to be derived from killing my own people in battle. O Krsna, I do not hanker after victory, nor even a kingdom, nor pleasures.
Swami Gambiranandaafter Śaṅkara's bhāṣya· paired with Śaṅkara
I see, Kṛṣṇa, inauspicious omens. I foresee no good in slaying my kinsmen in battle.
Swami Adidevanandaafter Rāmānuja's bhāṣya· paired with Rāmānuja
O Govinda! What use is the kingdom to us? What use are its pleasures and life even?
Dr. S. Sankaranarayanafter Madhva's bhāṣya· paired with Madhva
And I see ill omens, O Kesava. I do not see any good in slaying my kinsmen in battle.
Swami SivanandaThe Bhagavad Gita
The omens are unfavorable; what good can come from the slaughter of my people on this battlefield?
