महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-12, chapter-110, verse-24

तथागतं च यो हन्यान्नासौ पापेन लिप्यते ।
स्वकर्मणा हतं हन्ति हत एव स हन्यते ।
तेषु यः समयं कश्चित्कुर्वीत हतबुद्धिषु ॥२४॥

24. tathāgataṁ ca yo hanyānnāsau pāpena lipyate ,
svakarmaṇā hataṁ hanti hata eva sa hanyate ,
teṣu yaḥ samayaṁ kaścitkurvīta hatabuddhiṣu.

24. tathāgatam ca yaḥ hanyāt na asau
pāpena lipyate sva-karmaṇā hatam
hanti hataḥ eva saḥ hanyate teṣu yaḥ
samayam kaścit kurvīta hata-buddhiṣu

24. ca yaḥ tathāgatam hanyāt,
asau pāpena na lipyate sva-karmaṇā hatam hanti; saḥ hataḥ eva hanyate yaḥ teṣu hata-buddhiṣu kaścit samayam kurvīta

24. And whoever would kill one who has fulfilled their destiny (tathāgata) is not tainted by sin. For he kills one already slain by their own action (karma); indeed, that person, already as good as slain, is then (truly) killed. Whoever would make an agreement with such individuals, whose intellects are destroyed (hatabuddhi), is indeed foolish.
