Translation

Alas, how strange it is that we are preparing to commit greatly sinful acts. Driven by the desire to enjoy royal happiness, we are intent on killing our own kinsmen.

Ojoj, zares čudno je, da se pripravljamo na tako zelo grešna dejanja. Gnani od želje po uživanju kraljevske sreče, nameravamo pobiti lastne sorodnike.

Purport

Purport

Driven by selfish motives, one may be inclined to such sinful acts as the killing of one’s own brother, father or mother. There are many such instances in the history of the world. But Arjuna, being a saintly devotee of the Lord, is always conscious of moral principles and therefore takes care to avoid such activities.

Človek, ki ga ženejo sebični motivi, lahko zagreši tako velike zločine, kot so umor lastnega brata, očeta ali matere. V zgodovini sveta je veliko takih primerov. Arjuna, ki je Gospodov čisti bhakta, pa se ves čas zaveda moralnih načel in se zato takim dejanjem previdno izogiba.
