Chapter 2 · The Yoga of Knowledge (Sankhya Yoga)
Bhagavad Gita 2.5 Chapter 2, Verse 5
गुरूनहत्वा हि महानुभावान् श्रेयो भोक्तुं भैक्ष्यमपीह लोके ।
हत्वार्थकामांस्तु गुरूनिहैव भुञ्जीय भोगान् रुधिरप्रदिग्धान् ॥२.५॥
gurūnahatvā hi mahānubhāvān śreyo bhoktuṃ bhaikṣyamapīha loke
hatvārthakāmāṃstu gurūnihaiva bhuñjīya bhogān rudhirapradigdhān
Meaning
It would be better to live in this world even by begging than to kill these noble elders. Killing them, whatever wealth and pleasure I enjoy would be stained with blood.
