Commentary (टीका)
The sloka addresses the concern of Arjuna regarding the degeneration of *kula-dharma* (family duty, tradition) due to war, leading to societal chaos. Arjuna, in his conversation with Krishna, is worried about the loss of family values and the resultant misery for the souls who would then face the ill fate of *naraka* (hell). He contemplates that the women in families, when left unprotected, might lead to societal degradation, resulting in the destruction of family traditions. The term "अनुशुश्रुम" (anuśuśruma) indicates Arjuna's acknowledgment of the ancient teachings heard from sages or scriptures on the eternal laws of dharma. The commentary strongly suggests the importance of abiding by one's dharma, emphasizing the consequences of failing one's duties, indicating prolonged suffering in hell (*narake'niyatam*).
In Hindi analysis, there is a warning against straying from one's responsibility and succumbing to desires or malice, stressing the moral obligations that preserve societal order, and how deviation can lead to prolonged suffering. Arjuna's statement underscores the high regard for cultural and familial responsibilities within the Vedic tradition. The loss of *kula-dharma* is viewed as leading not only to personal suffering but to broader social unrest.
