Of what avail is the kingdom to us, O Govinda? Of what avail pleasures or even life? Those for whose sake we desire kingdom, enjoyments and pleasures, stand here in battle, having given up life and wealth.
What need have I of victory, dominion, pleasures? What need of life itself, Govinda, if those for whom I craved these things stand here about to die?
Of what use to us is dominion, O Govinda? of what use are pleasures and even life? Those for whose sake dominion, enjoyments and pleasures are coveted by us, they stand arrayed for battle, surrendering life and wealth.
