Commentary (टीका)
In this sloka, Arjuna questions why those who can clearly see the consequences of family destruction do not learn to avoid committing such sinful acts. This highlights his introspection and moral dilemma about participating in a war that would lead to the destruction of families, which initiates a chain of evils. He addresses Kṛṣṇa as Janārdana, which denotes his understanding of the need for righteousness. The sloka emphasizes that wisdom and clear vision call for a responsibility to avert sinful actions like the annihilation of one's clan. The English and Hindi commentaries expand on the idea of negligence and ill effects of desires, which lead to ignorance and unethical behaviors. Arjuna's inner conflict, presented here, is profound as it reflects the Vedic virtues of self-restraint and the consequences of one's actions.
