|| Papam Evasrayed Asman Hatvaitan Atatayinah Tasman Narha Vayam Hantum Dhartarastran Sa-Bandhavan |
Sva-Janam Hi Katham Hatva Sukhinah Syama Madhava ||
2 Here Arjuna is trying to say that;
O Madhava, even though they may be aggressors, sin will overcome us if we kill them. Hence, it is not acceptable for us to slay the sons of Dhritarashtra along with our friends. What pleasure will be derived from slaying our own family members?
3 In the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth stanza Arjuna says;
|| Yadyapy Ete Na Pasyanti Lobhopahata-Cetasah
Kula-Ksaya-Krtam Dosham Mitra-Drohe Cha Patakam ||37||
|| Katham Na Jneyam Asmabhih Papad Asman Nivartitum
