अर्जुन उवाच — दृष्ट्वेमं स्वजनं कृष्ण युयुत्सुं समुपस्थितम्। सीदन्ति मम गात्राणि मुखं च परिशुष्यति॥
arjuna uvacha — drishtvemam svajanam krishna yuyutsum samupasthitam sidanti mama gatrani mukham cha parishushyati
Translation
Arjuna said: O Krishna, seeing my own kinsmen arrayed here and eager to fight, my limbs give way and my mouth is drying up.
Commentary
Arjuna describes physical symptoms of extreme distress — weakness in limbs and dryness of mouth. These are the body's natural response to an impossible moral dilemma, showing his deep human sensitivity.
