[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 1.32 · spoken by Arjun ]
What's the point of winning if everyone you'd celebrate with is dead?
Yesterday he didn't want victory. Today he doesn't want to be alive. What use is a kingdom, O Govind, when the people who'd share it are the ones you have to kill?
SANSKRIT
न काङ्क्षे विजयं कृष्ण न च राज्यं सुखानि च । किं नो राज्येन गोविन्द किं भोगैर्जीवितेन वा ॥१-३२॥
KRISHNA’S LINE
“A kingdom means nothing if the people you built it for are gone.”
