Krishna, I seek no victory, or kingship or pleasures. What use to us are kingship, delights, or life itself?

(32) Kṛṣṇa, I do not long for victory nor for the kingdom nor yet for things of pleasure. What should I do with a kingdom? What with enjoyments or [even] with life?

1.32 -- 1.34 O Govinda! What need do we have of a kingdom, or what (need) of enjoyments and livelihood? Those for whom kingdom, enjoyments and pleasures are desired by us, viz teachers, uncles, fathers-in-law, grandsons, brothers-in-law as also relatives-those very ones stand arrayed for battle risking their lives and wealth.

1.32 I desire no victory, nor empire, nor pleasures. What have we to do with empire, O Kṛṣṇa, or enjoyment or even life?

1.32. I desire not victory, O Kṛṣṇa, nor kingdom, nor pleasures. Of what avail is dominion to us, O Kṛṣṇa, or pleasures or even life?
