    एतान्न हन्तुमिच्छामि घ्नतोऽपि मधुसूदन

    I do not wish to kill them, Krishna, even if they kill me — not for dominion over the three worlds, let alone for the earth.

    तस्मान्नार्हा वयं हन्तुं धार्तराष्ट्रान्स्वबान्धवान्

    hantum — to kill

    So it is not for us to kill Dhritarashtra's sons, our own kin. How could we be happy, having killed our own people?

  3. 1.45

    अहो बत महत्पापं कर्तुं व्यवसिता वयम्

    hantum — to kill

    Alas — we have resolved to commit a great wrong, ready to kill our own people out of greed for a kingdom and its comforts.
