तान्समीक्ष्य स कौन्तेयः सर्वान्बन्धूनवस्थितान्। कृपया परयाविष्टो विषीदन्निदमब्रवीत्॥
tan samikshya sa kaunteyah sarvan bandhun avasthitan kripaya parayavishto vishidann idam abravit
Translation
Seeing all his relatives present there, the son of Kunti (Arjuna) was overwhelmed with deep compassion and spoke in sorrow.
Commentary
Arjuna's compassion is genuine but misplaced. He confuses emotional attachment with true compassion. Krishna will later teach him that real compassion means acting according to dharma, not avoiding difficult duties.
