The Song Celestial; Or, Bhagavad-Gîtâ (from the Mahâbhârata) Being a discourse between Arjuna, Prince of India, and the Supreme Being under the form of Krishna

By overthrow of houses perisheth their sweet continuous household piety, and-rites neglected, piety extinct-enters impiety upon that home;

家庭的颠覆导致了家庭中持续的虔诚行为的消亡，忽视了仪式，虔诚消失，不虔诚进入了那个家庭；

Better I deem it, if my kinsmen strike, to face them weaponless, and bare my breast to shaft and spear, than answer blow with blow.

我认为，如果我的亲人攻击我，我宁愿无防备地面对他们的箭和矛，也不愿意以牙还牙。
