Oh Govinda, My saviour, My guide,
Of what avail to us are a kingdom, happiness or even life itself.
When all those for whom we may desire them,
Are now arrayed on this battlefield ?
O Madhusudana,
When teachers, fathers, sons, grandfathers, maternal uncles, fathers-in-law, grandsons, brothers-in-law, and other relatives are ready to give up their lives and properties, and are standing before me.
Why should I wish to **** them,
Even though they might otherwise **** me ?
O Maintainer of all living entities,
I am not prepared to fight with even in exchange of all three worlds, let alone earth.
What pleasure will we derive from killing the sons of Dhrtarāstra ?

Confronted by battle Arjuna disputes
But Krishna proposes more pious pursuits
Accepting one’s duty
With transient beauty
Concerned with right action but not with its fruits
