In killing my brothers, Krishna, I cannot see anything noble - I do not want this victory, this glory, this happiness.  What is glory to us, Krishna, what are pleasures and life, if those who from us deserve glory, pleasure, and life, are ready to fight us, having given up the world's delights - our uncles, our sons and our grandfathers, our eldest kinsmen, acharyas, our fathers-in-law and our grandsons.\n\n I would not kill them, not for the three worlds, let alone the earth.  I had rather they killed me, Krishna.
