=== Commentary (टीका) ===
Arjuna articulates a profound query addressing the intrinsic perplexity of human behavior. Despite possessing the intellectual discernment to avoid transgressions, individuals often find themselves ensnared by undesirable actions. Arjuna seeks clarification from Krishna, referred to as Varṣṇeya, highlighting the compelling force that drives a person into sin, akin to being overpowered by an external force, even against their conscious will.

Swami Sivananda elaborates that "Varshneya" is a familial attribute of Krishna, emphasizing divinity in Arjuna's address. Swami Ramsukhdas delves deeper, exploring the contradiction within the human psyche where one consciously recoils from sin due to its resultant suffering but succumbs to desires rooted in "kāma" (worldly desires) and "krodha" (anger), which stealthily govern actions, as illustrated by the analogy of Duryodhana's helpless compliance. These intricacies indicate the disconnect between knowledge and action, a common plight Arjuna relates to, pressing for elucidation on this dilemma.

The narrative dwells on identifying forces that dictate moral infractions, whether internal desires or perceived external compulsions, reflecting on how individuals can transcend illusions of compulsion to align intention with action in righteous pursuits.
