अध्याय - १ CHAPTER ONE
nothing but sin by killing them."-36
तस्मान्नार्हा वयं हन्तुं धार्तराष्ट्रान्स्ववान्धवान् । स्वजनं हि कथं हत्वा सुखिनः स्याम माधव ॥ ३७ ॥
"It does not behove us to kill sons of Dhrutrastra who are our own cousins. Oh Madhav how can we be happy by killing our kith and kin?"-37
यद्यप्येते न पश्यन्ति लोभोपहतचेतसः । कलक्षयकृतं दोषं मित्रद्रोहे च पातकम्
।। ३८ ।।
"Even if they could not see any evil in destruction of their own race, blind as they are in their greed, it is highly sinful to destroy the institution of family as also treachery to your firiends "-38
कथं न ज्ञेयमस्माभिः पापदमान्निवर्तितुम् । प्रपश्यद्धिर्जनार्दन
कुलक्षयकृतं
।। ३९ ।।
दोषं "Therefore, Oh Janardana, why we, who visualise clearly the sin, involved in the destruction of ones family, should not turn away from commiting such a sin ? "-39
