Shloka 11
मनुष्याणां समालम्भो न च दृष्ट: कदाचन । स कथं मानुषै्देवं यट्टमिच्छसि शंकरम्,किसी देवताकी पूजाके लिये मनुष्योंका वध कभी नहीं देखा गया। फिर तुम कल्याणकारी देवता भगवान् शिवकी पूजा मनुष्योंकी हिंसाद्वारा कैसे करना चाहते हो?
manuṣyāṇāṃ samālambho na ca dṛṣṭaḥ kadācana | sa kathaṃ mānuṣair devaṃ yaṣṭum icchasi śaṅkaram ||
«ການຂ້າມະນຸດເພື່ອບູຊາເທວະດາ ບໍ່ເຄີຍປາກົດໃຫ້ເຫັນໃນເວລາໃດເລີຍ. ແລ້ວເຈົ້າຈະປາດຖະໜາບູຊາພຣະສັງກະຣະ (ພຣະສິວະ) ຜູ້ເປັນມົງຄຸນ ດ້ວຍຄວາມຮຸນແຮງຕໍ່ມະນຸດໄດ້ແນວໃດ?»

Educational Q&A
Worship must align with dharma: devotion cannot be justified through adharma. Kṛṣṇa rejects the idea that pleasing a benevolent deity like Śiva could require or permit human killing, emphasizing ethical restraint (ahiṃsā) and the impropriety of human sacrifice.
Kṛṣṇa addresses someone proposing or intending a form of worship involving human killing. He counters by appealing to precedent and moral logic: such a practice is not sanctioned or observed, and therefore it is incoherent to claim it as a means to worship Śaṅkara.
