तस्मादस्य वधो वीर सर्वार्थवध उच्यते ॥२८॥
deho 'yaá¹ mÄnuá¹£o rÄjan
puruá¹£asyÄkhilÄrthadaḥ
tasmÄd asya vadho vÄ«ra
sarvÄrtha-vadha ucyate
dehaḥ - body; ayam - this; mÄnuá¹£aḥ - human; rÄjan - O King; puruá¹£asya - of the living being; akhila - universal; artha-daḥ - beneficial; tasmÄt - therefore; asya - of the body of my husband; vadhaḥ - the killing; vÄ«ra - O hero; sarva-artha-vadhaḥ - killing all beneficial opportunities; ucyate - it is said.
O King, O hero, this human body is meant for universal benefits. If you kill this body untimely, you will kill all the benefits of human life.
ÅšrÄ«la Narottama dÄsa ṬhÄkura has sung:
hari hari viphale janama goá¹…Äinu
manuá¹£ya-janama pÄiyÄ, rÄdhÄ-kṛṣṇa nÄ bhajiyÄ,
jÄniyÄ Å›uniyÄ viá¹£a khÄinu
The body of a human being is extremely valuable because in this body one can understand the instructions of Kṛṣṇa and attain the ultimate destination of the living entity. The living entity is within the material world to fulfill the mission of going back home, back to Godhead. In the material world, one hankers for happiness, but because one does not know the ultimate destination, one changes bodies one after another. However, if one gets the opportunity to possess a human form of body, in this body he can fulfill the four principles of dharma, artha, kÄma and moká¹£a, and if one is properly regulated he makes further progress, after liberation, to engage in the service of RÄdhÄ and Kṛṣṇa. This is the success of life: to stop the process of repeated birth and death and go back home, back to Godhead (mÄm eti), to be engaged in the service of RÄdhÄ and Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, taking a human body is meant for completing one’s progress in life. Throughout human society, killing of a human being is taken very seriously. Hundreds and thousands of animals are killed in slaughterhouses, and no one cares about them, but the killing of even one human being is taken very seriously. Why? Because the human form of body is extremely important in executing the mission of life.
