निमित्तानि च पश्यामि विपरीतानि केशव ।न च श्रेयोऽनुपश्यामि हत्वा स्वजनमाहवे ॥
nimittāni ca paśyāmi viparītāni keśava |na ca śreyo'nupaśyāmi hatvā svajanamāhave ||
And I see omens that are the opposite of good, O Keshava. Nor do I see any good coming from killing my own kinsmen in battle.
Explanation
Arjuna, overwhelmed at the sight of his relatives on the battlefield, tells Krishna (Keshava) that he sees bad omens (nimitta). He also cannot see any lasting good (śreyas) in killing his own people. Here he begins to question the purpose of the war itself, not just his own nerves.
