Sanskrit Original
त्वेष बीभत्सुरलं नृशंसं कर्तुं न पापेऽस्य मनो विशिष्टिम्॥ त्रैलोक्यहेतोर्न जहेत् स्वधर्म सर्वे न तस्मानिहता रणेऽस्मिन्। क्षिप्रं कुरून् याहि कुरुप्रवीर विजित्य गाश्च प्रतियातु पार्थः। मा ते स्वकोऽर्थो निपतेत मोहात् तत् संविदातव्यमरिष्टबन्धम्॥
Arjuna cannot behave cruelly as his mind never entangles in coming vice. He cannot abandon his religion even if enticed for ruling on trio-worlds. This is the reason, he did not killed us at that unconscious state. O one of pioneer warriors in Kuru race, go back to Kuru state immediately. Let Arjuna return to his destination with cows. Keep in mind your own interest and don't become cause for defeat of your own purpose. All of us should do whatever may ensure our welfare.
