ये अपि त्वेतेसहस्राणी धार्तराष्ट्र महारथाः | न विजानामि तद्धर्मं न विजानामि तद्धर्मं छन्दामि ||
Ye api tv ete sahasrani dhartar-ashtra maharathah na jivami hatvahan na chan me bhavishyati
What pleasure can we derive from killing the sons of Dhritarashtra? Only sin will accrue to us.
Modern Application:
Deep Wisdom: Arjuna introduces the concept of sin (paap). He believes that killing relatives, even in war, is morally wrong. This shows he values ethics but lacks the broader perspective of cosmic duty and dharma.
