Here Krishna points to the deed itself as the guilt: your cruel act is your sin. It is telling that guilt is measured not by personal offense against an enemy but by the wrong done to others: a crime against the innocent is a crime against all. Thus scripture shows that harming others does not leave one blameless; what follows concerns the assault upon kings.
