sāṃkhyayoga - Verse śloka 5
śloka 5
gurūnahatvā hi mahānubhāvān
śreyo bhoktuṃ bhaikṣyamapīha loke |
hatvārthakāmāṃstu gurūnihaiva
bhuñjīya bhogān rudhirapradigdhān ||2-5||
Translation
It would be more beneficial to subsist in this world on alms than to slay these noble teachers, for having slain the teachers I would enjoy only wealth and pleasures stained with blood in this world.
