Shri Purohit Swami

अगर ये हाथों में शस्त्र-अस्त्र लिये हुए धृतराष्ट्र के पक्षपाती लोग युद्धभूमि में सामना न करनेवाले तथा शस्त्ररहित मुझ को मार भी दें, तो वह मेरे लिये बड़ा ही हितकारक होगा।

Swami Ramsukhdas

यदि मुझ शस्त्ररहित और प्रतिकार न करने वाले को ये शस्त्रधारी कौरव रण में मारें,  तो भी वह मेरे लिये कल्याणकारक होगा।

Swami Tejomayananda
