Commentary (टीका)
In this sloka, Krishna expresses the consequences of refraining from battle, emphasizing the emotional impact of criticism and slander by one's enemies. *Avācyavāda* refers to the kind of disgraceful speech that the enemies (*ahita*) will use against Arjuna if he avoids battle, underscoring a loss of honor that can cause deep emotional pain. The commentary by Swami Sivananda articulates the psychological torment associated with slander. Swami Ramsukhdas, in his exploration, highlights how such words can stir anger and provoke action. The verse serves as a reminder of the power of words and the importance of maintaining honor and strength in the face of adversity. Krishna suggests that being labeled a coward by adversaries is a scenario worse than the physical pain encountered in battle. It highlights themes of honor, reputation, emotional resilience, and the societal consequences of perceived weakness.
