O Govinda! What need do we have of a kingdom, or what need of enjoyments and livelihood? Those for whom kingdom, enjoyments, and pleasures are desired by us—such as teachers, uncles, fathers-in-law, grandsons, brothers-in-law, as well as relatives—those very ones stand arrayed for battle, risking their lives and wealth.
Swami Gambiranandaafter Śaṅkara's bhāṣya· paired with Śaṅkara
I desire no victory, nor empire, nor pleasures. What have we to do with empire, O Krishna, or enjoyment, or even life?
Swami Adidevanandaafter Rāmānuja's bhāṣya· paired with Rāmānuja
For whose sake we seek kingdom, its pleasures and happiness, the very same persons now stand arrayed to fight, giving up their lives and wealth.
Dr. S. Sankaranarayanafter Madhva's bhāṣya· paired with Madhva
I desire not victory, O Krishna, nor kingdom, nor pleasures. What use is dominion to us, O Krishna, or pleasures or even life?
Swami SivanandaThe Bhagavad Gita
Ah, my Lord! I do not crave victory, nor a kingdom, nor any pleasure. What would a kingdom, happiness, or life be to me?
Shri Purohit SwamiThe Geeta
