एतान्न हन्तुमिच्छामि घ्नतोऽपि मधुसूदन |

अपि त्रैलोक्यराज्यस्य हेतो: किं नु महीकृते || 35||

etān na hantum ichchhāmi ghnato ’pi madhusūdana
api trailokya-rājyasya hetoḥ kiṁ nu mahī-kṛite

भावार्थ:

हे मधुसूदन! मुझे मारने पर भी अथवा तीनों लोकों के राज्य के लिए भी मैं इन सबको मारना नहीं चाहता, फिर पृथ्वी के लिए तो कहना ही क्या है?॥35॥

Translation

O Madhusudan, I do not wish to slay them, even if they attack me. If we kill the sons of Dhritarashtra, what satisfaction will we derive from the dominion over the three worlds, what to speak of this Earth?

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya’s Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda
