तस्मादनर्हा वयं हन्तुं धार्तराष्ट्रान् सवबान्धवान् | स्वजनं हि कथं हत्वा सुखिनः स्याम माधव ||
Tasmad narha vayam hantum dhartar-ashtran sva-bandhavan sva-janam hi katham hatva sukhinah syama madhava
Therefore, we should not kill the sons of Dhritarashtra. How can we be happy by killing our own kinsmen?
Modern Application:
Deep Wisdom: Arjuna's logic is emotionally sound but spiritually incomplete. He equates family ties with moral obligation, forgetting that higher duty sometimes requires difficult choices. This is the beginning of his rationalization for inaction.
