Adhyāya 1 • Shloka 37
तस्मान्नार्हा वयं हन्तुं धार्तराष्ट्रान्स्वबान्धवान् | स्वजनं हि कथं हत्वा सुखिन: स्याम माधव || ३७ ||
tasmān nārhā vayaṃ hantuṃ dhārtarāṣṭrān sva-bāndhavān | sva-janaṃ hi kathaṃ hatvā sukhinaḥ syāma mādhava || 37 ||
"Therefore, it is not proper for us to kill the sons of Dhritarashtra and our relatives. For how can we be happy by killing our own kinsmen, O Madhava?"
