O Govinda! What use is the kingdom to us? What use are its pleasures and life even?
What were a kingdom or happiness or life to me,
I desire no victory, nor empire, nor pleasures. What have we to do with empire, O Krsna, or enjoyment or even life ?
O Govinda! What need do we have of a kingdom, or what (need) of enjoyments and livelihood?
For I desire neither victory, O Krishna, nor pleasures nor kingdoms! Of what avail is a dominion to us, O Krishna, or pleasures or even life?

For whose sake we seek kingdom, its pleasures and happiness, the very same persons now stand arrayed to fight, giving up their lives and wealth.
When those for whose sake I desire these things stand here about to sacrifice their property and their lives:
Those for whose sake we do desire empire, enjoyment and pleasures, stand here in war renouncing life and wealth----
Those for whom kingdom, enjoyments and pleasures are desired by us, those very ones stand arrayed for battle risking their lives and wealth.
Those for whose sake we desire kingdoms, enjoyments and pleasures, stand here in battle, having renounced life and wealth.
