अर्जुन उवाच
कृपया परयाऽऽविष्टो विषीदन्निदमब्रवीत्।
दृष्ट्वेमं स्वजनं कृष्ण युयुत्सुं समुपस्थितम्।।1.28।।
।।1.28 1.29।।अर्जुन ने कहा हे कृष्ण युद्ध की इच्छा रखकर उपस्थित हुए इन स्वजनों को देखकर मेरे अंग शिथिल हुये जाते हैं मुख भी सूख रहा है और मेरे शरीर में कम्प तथा रोमांच हो रहा है।।
Madhvacarya has no commentary so we present Baladeva Vidyabhusanas. What Kaunteya who is Arjuna the son of Kunti had started speaking is being expressed by the words beginning with drstveman. Although the word svajanam is in the singular tense it actually refers to the members of Arjunas dynasty. As per the Amarkosa the Sanskrit lexicon the word svajanam means relative, friend, comrade, kinsmen by marriage, etc. Thus Arjuna by seeing them all, his hands, legs and other bodily limbs became numb and by the use of the word parisusyati which means drying up. It is said that the drying up of the mouth is much more excruciating than exertions of hard labour.
