Commentary (टीका)
In this passage, Arjuna is experiencing an overwhelming emotional and physical reaction as he contemplates the battle ahead where he would be fighting against his own relatives, teachers, and friends. This reaction includes a sense of weakness (śithil), parched mouth (pariśuṣyat), trembling (vepathu), and horrification.
Swami Sivananda's commentary reflects on Arjuna's deep distress, interpreting that the physical symptoms were manifestations of his internal turmoil about fighting a war that goes against his attachment and compassion for his kin, highlighting how internal dissonance can manifest physically.
Swami Ramsukhdas further elaborates that Arjuna addressing Krishna as 'Kṛṣṇa' signifies the closeness and emotional bond. The commentary reflects on this internal conflict as two-fold: the dharma (duty) of a warrior versus compassion for his kin, leading to introspection and psychological conflict symbolized through the described symptoms.
The sloka is thus an exploration of the deep psychological conflict and moral quandaries individuals face when a duty or expected action conflicts with personal relationships and compassion.
