न च श्रेयोऽनुपश्यामि हत्वा स्वजनमाहवे।।1.31।।
1.31 Besides, I do not see any good (to be derived) from killing my own people in battle. O Krsna, I do not hanker after victory, nor even a kingdom nor pleasures.
1.31. And I see adverse omens, O Kesava. I do not see any good in killing my kinsmen in battle.
1.31. O Govinda! Of what use in the kingdom to us? Of what use are the pleasures [thereof] and the life even?
