Translations by Teachers (आचार्यो द्वारा अनुवाद):
Swami Ramsukhdas (Hindi)
।।2.5।। महानुभाव गुरुजनोंको न मारकर इस लोकमें मैं भिक्षाका अन्न खाना भी श्रेष्ठ समझता हूँ। क्योंकि गुरुजनोंको मारकर यहाँ रक्तसे सने हुए तथा धनकी कामनाकी मुख्यतावाले भोगोंको ही तो भोगूँगा!
Swami Tejomayananda (Hindi)
।।2.5।। इन महानुभाव गुरुजनों को मारने से इस लोक में भिक्षा का अन्न भी ग्रहण करना अधिक कल्याण कारक है, क्योंकि गुरुजनों को मारकर मैं इस लोक में रक्तरंजित अर्थ और काम रूप भोगों को ही भोगूँगा।।
Swami Adidevananda (English)
It is better even to live on a beggar’s fare in this world than to slay these most venerable teachers. If I were to slay my teachers, though they may be degraded by desire for wealth, I would only be enjoying blood-stained pleasures here.
Swami Gambirananda (English)
Rather than killing the noble-minded elders, it is better in this world to live even on alms. But by killing them, we shall only be enjoying here the pleasures of wealth and desirable things drenched in blood.
Swami Sivananda (English)
Better it is, indeed, in this world to accept alms than to slay the most noble teachers. But if I were to kill them, even in this world, all my enjoyments of wealth and fulfilled desires would be stained with their blood.
Dr. S. Sankaranarayan (English)
It is indeed good to go about begging in this world without killing the elders of great dignity; however, I would not enjoy, with greed for wealth, the blood-stained objects of pleasure by killing my elders.
Shri Purohit Swami (English)
Rather, I would be content with a beggar’s crust than to kill these teachers of mine, these precious noble souls! To slay these masters who are my benefactors would be to stain the sweetness of life’s pleasures with their blood.
