- 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
all these are to be regarded as one's own self. Teachers, fathers, sons, grandfathers, uncles, fathers-in-law, grandsons, brothers-in-law, and other kinsmen—all these are to be regarded as one's own self.
Swami Adidevanandaafter Rāmānuja's bhāṣya· paired with Rāmānuja
O slayer of Mandhu (Krsna)! I do not desire to slay these men, even though they slay me, not even for the sake of the kingdom of the three worlds, let alone for the sake of the earth.
