Chapter 1 · Verse 36
Arjuna Visada Yoga
अर्जुनविषादयोग
In plain words
You are being asked to reflect on the spiritual consequences of your actions and realize that triumph built on violence brings no true joy. Even though his opponents are wrongdoers, Arjuna fears that killing them will only bring bad karma, the binding reaction to harmful deeds. He worries this act will destroy his peace, showing how grief can obscure our inner jnana, or spiritual wisdom.
Translation
1.36 If we kill the sons of Dhrtarastra, what joy will be ours, O Krsna? Sin alone will accrue to us if we kill these murderous felons.
Meaning
Janardana means one who is worshipped by all for prosperity and salvation -- Krishna. He who sets fire to the house of another who gives poision who runs with sword to kill who has plundered wealth and lands and who has taken hold of the wife of somody else is an atatayi. Duryodhana had done all these evil actions.
Word by word
निहत्य having slain धार्तराष्ट्रान् sons of Dhritarashtra नः to us का what प्रीतिः pleasure स्यात् may be जनार्दन O Janardana पापम् sin एव only आश्रयेत् would take hold अस्मान् to us हत्वा having killed एतान् these आततायिनः felons.
