2.5
gurūn ahatvā hi mahānubhāvāñ; śreyo bhoktuṃ bhaikṣam apīha loke
hatvārthakāmāṃs tu gurūn ihaiva; bhuñjīya bhogān rudhirapradigdhān
Surely it would be better even to eat the bread of beggary in this life than to slay these great-souled masters. But if I kill them, even in this world, all my enjoyment of wealth and desires will be stained with blood.
