BG 2.5 — Chapter 2 (The Yoga of Knowledge), Verse 5, with Sanskrit, transliteration & translation.

गुरूनहत्वा हि महानुभावान् श्रेयो भोक्तुं भैक्ष्यमपीह लोके | हत्वार्थकामांस्तु गुरूनिहैव भुञ्जीय भोगान् रुधिरप्रदिग्धान् ||२-५||

🕉

gurūnahatvā hi mahānubhāvān śreyo bhoktuṃ bhaikṣyamapīha loke . hatvārthakāmāṃstu gurūnihaiva bhuñjīya bhogān rudhirapradigdhān ||2-5||

Roman: gurunahatva hi mahanubhavan shreyo bhoktum bhaikshyamapiha loke . hatvarthakamamstu gurunihaiva bhunjiya bhogan rudhirapradigdhan

Better it is, indeed, in this world to accept alms than to slay the most noble teachers. But if I kill them, even in this world all my enjoyments of wealth and fulfilled desires will be stained with (their) blood.
