Chapter 2 -- Verse 5

Verse: gurūnahatvā hi mahānubhāvānśreyo 
bhoktuṃ bhaikṣyamapīha loke |
hatvārthakāmāṃstu gurunihaiva bhuñjīya bhogān‌உrudhirapradigdhān ||

गुरूनहत्वा हि महानुभावान्श्रेयो भोक्तुं भैक्ष्यमपीह लोके ।
हत्वार्थकामांस्तु गुरुनिहैव भुंजीय भोगान्‌உरुधिरप्रदिग्धान् ॥

Translation: "It would be better to live in this world by begging than to live at the cost of the lives of great souls who are my teachers. Even though desiring worldly gain, they are superiors. If they are killed, everything we enjoy will be tainted with blood."
