O Janardana, what happiness will we gain by killing the sons of Dhrtarastra? We will only incur sin by killing these wrongdoers.
Swami Gambiranandaafter Śaṅkara's bhāṣya· paired with Śaṅkara
If we were to kill the sons of Dhrtarastra, what joy would be ours, O Krsna? Sin alone would accrue to us if we killed these murderous felons.
Swami Adidevanandaafter Rāmānuja's bhāṣya· paired with Rāmānuja
Nothing but sin would slay these desperadoes and take hold of us; therefore, we should not slay Dhrtarastra's sons, our own relatives.
Dr. S. Sankaranarayanafter Madhva's bhāṣya· paired with Madhva
By killing these sons of Dhritarashtra, what pleasure could be ours, O Janardana? Only sin would accrue to us from killing these felons.
Swami SivanandaThe Bhagavad Gita
My Lord! What happiness can come from the death of these sons of Dhritarashtra? We shall be committing a sin if we kill these desperate men.
