शाश्च॒तं धर्ममुत्सज्य गुरु: शस्त्रेण घातित: । पुत्रवत्सल गुरुदेव बेटेके शोकमें मग्न होकर युद्धसे विमुख हो गये थे। उस अवस्थामें आपने सनातनधर्मकी अवहेलना करके उन्हें शस्त्रसे मरवा डाला

Translation
Arjuna said: “Casting aside the eternal law of righteousness, you had the Guru struck down by weapons. Though he was a revered teacher, tenderly attached to his son and overwhelmed by grief—having turned away from battle in that condition—you disregarded the timeless demands of dharma and caused him to be slain.”
