ते चेत्कुरूननुशास्य स्थ पार्था निनीय सर्वान्द्विषतो निगृह्य । समं वस्तज्जीवितं मृत्युना स्याद्यज्जीवध्वं ज्ञातिवधे न साधु॥५-२५-९॥
If you, O Pārthas, were to govern the Kurus by subduing and restraining all adversaries, that life of yours would be equivalent to death—if you live through the killing of kinsmen; it is not ethically commendable, nor in accord with dharma.
