इस पाठ-साक्षी का श्लोक-पता वर्तमान ŚB मार्ग से ठीक मिलता है। गीता प्रेस और वर्तमान अंग्रेज़ी पाठ को मिलाया नहीं गया है; दोनों अपने-अपने स्रोत-रूप में साथ पढ़े जा सकते हैं।

जीवता ब्राह्मणार्थाय को न्वर्थ: क्षत्रबन्धुना। देहेन पतमानेन नेहता विपुलं यश:॥ २६

हिन्दी टीका-पाठ

मेरा तो यह पक्का निश्‍चय है कि यह शरीर नाशवान् है। इस शरीरसे जो विपुल यश नहीं कमाता और जो क्षत्रिय ब्राह्मणके लिये ही जीवन नहीं धारण करता, उसका जीना व्यर्थ है’॥ २६॥
