Pradyumna: "A person who knows the principles of religion does not kill an enemy who is careless, intoxicated, insane, asleep, afraid, or devoid of his chariot. Nor does he kill a boy, a woman, a foolish creature or a surrendered soul. A cruel and wretched person who maintains his existence at the cost of others' lives deserve to be killed for his own well-being; otherwise he will go down by his own actions."
Prabhupāda:
- mattaṁ pramattam unmattaṁ
- suptaṁ bālaṁ striyaṁ jaḍam
- prapannaṁ virathaṁ bhītaṁ
- na ripuṁ hanti dharma-vit
- (SB 1.7.36)
- sva-prāṇān yaḥ para-prāṇaiḥ
- prapuṣṇāty aghṛṇaḥ khalaḥ
- tad-vadhas tasya hi śreyo
- yad-doṣād yāty adhaḥ pumān
- (SB 1.7.37)
So kṣatriya's fight, it is not ordinary fight like cats and dogs. The cats and dogs also fight and the kṣatriyas in the battlefield of Kurukṣetra, under the guidance of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, they are not the same. Sometimes in the foreign countries, they do not know. They simply know fight means cats' and dogs' fight. No. Therefore they question that why Kṛṣṇa induced Arjuna to fight? Certainly they do not know there is fight on the principle of religion. That is real fight. Otherwise fight whimsically, that is animals' fight, cats' and dogs' fight.
