Meaning
One who has no sense of 'I am the doer' and whose understanding is not stained, even if they slay these people, does not truly slay and is not bound by it.
हिंदी में अर्थ
जिसके मन में 'मैं कर्ता हूँ' का अहंकार नहीं है और जिसकी बुद्धि लिप्त नहीं होती, वह इन लोगों को मारकर भी वास्तव में नहीं मारता और न ही बंधन में पड़ता है।
