Shankaracharya's commentary, trans. Alladi Mahadeva Sastry (1897)
[1]He who is free from egotistic notion, whose mind is not tainted — though he kills these creatures, he kills not, he is not bound.
BG 18.17
यस्य नाहंकृतो भावो बुद्धिर् यस्य न लिप्यते । हत्वापि स इमाल् लोकान् न हन्ति न निबध्यते ॥
yasya nāhaṃkṛto bhāvo buddhir yasya na lipyate | hatvāpi sa imāl lokān na hanti na nibadhyate ||
"One with no ego-doer-sense, whose buddhi is untainted — even while killing all these beings, kills not, is not bound."
