SHRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE
गुरुनहत्वा हि महानुभावान्
श्रेयोभोक्तुं भक्ष्यमपीह लोके । हत्वार्थकामांस्तु गुरुहैव
भुजीय भोगानुरुधिरप्रदिग्धान् ॥ ५ ॥ "It is indeed better to live on-alms in this world than to kill your own guru and venerable elder as after killing them we shall have to enjoy the wealth which is stained with their blood." -5
न चैतद्भिद्मः कतरन्नो गरीयो ___ यदा जयेम यदि वा नो जयेयुः । यानेव हत्वा न जिजीविषाम
मस्तेऽवस्थिता: प्रमुखे धार्तराष्ट्राः ।।. "We do not know what is more probable - whether we shall conquer or they will do so. The every people killing whom we would not prefer to live are the very persons, the sons of Dhrutrastra who are standing before us.":- 6
