Commentary (टीका)
In this verse, Arjuna, overwhelmed by compassion and a sense of futility, expresses his lack of desire for the rewards of victory, kingdoms, and pleasures. Addressing Kṛṣṇa as "Govinda," Arjuna questions the value of these temporal achievements when bereft of personal want or kinship satisfaction. This scene unfolds during the Mahabharata war, showcasing a moment of deep moral and existential reflection for Arjuna on the battlefield.
Arjuna's questioning underlines a critical teaching that material accomplishments and fleeting pleasures cannot provide fulfillment without inner peace or purposeful engagement. The verse alludes to the essence of Vairagya (detachment), elevating the discourse from mere action to the significance of motivation and the inner state of being. Consequently, it amplifies the importance of understanding one's dharma (duty) over personal gains or family obligations, urging aspirants to contemplate their deeper spiritual goals.
