killed. When one perfectly understands Kṛṣṇa in this way, through the medium of  śāstra , one becomes immortal. As the Lord says in  Bhagavad-gītā  (4.9):
janma karma ca me divyam evam yo vetti tattvataḥ tyaktvā deham punar janma naiti mām eti so 'rjuna
“One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.”
TEXT 67
मातरं पितरं भ्रातॄन् सर्वाश्च सुहृदस्तथा । धन्ति ह्यसुतृपो लुब्धा राजानः प्रायशो भुवि ॥६७॥
mātaram pitaram bhrātīn sarvāṁś ca suhṛdas tathā ghnanti hy asutṛpo lubdhā rājānaḥ prāyaśo bhuvi
mātaram —unto the mother;  pitaram —unto the father;  bhrātīn —unto brothers;  sarvān ca —and anyone else;  suhṛdaḥ —friends;  tathā —as well as;  ghnanti —they kill (as it is practically seen);  hi —indeed;  asutṛpaḥ —those who envy the lives of others for their personal sense gratification;  lubdhāḥ —greedy;  rājānaḥ —such kings;  prāyaśaḥ —almost always;  bhuvi —on the earth.
TRANSLATION
Kings greedy for sense gratification on this earth almost always kill their enemies indiscriminately. To satisfy their own whims, they may kill anyone, even their mothers, fathers, brothers or friends.
PURPORT
We have seen in the history of India that Aurangzeb killed his brother and nephews and imprisoned his father to fulfill political ambitions.
