अहो बत महत्पापं कर्तुं व्यवसिता वयम्।
यद्राज्यसुखलोभेन हन्तुं स्वजनमुद्यताः।।1.45।।



हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 1.45)
।।1.45।।यह बड़े आश्चर्य और खेदकी बात है कि हमलोग बड़ा भारी पाप करनेका निश्चय कर बैठे हैं? जो कि राज्य और सुखके लोभसे अपने स्वजनोंको मारनेके लिये तैयार हो गये हैं


English Translation of Sanskrit Commentary By Sri Shankaracharya's
1.45 Sri Sankaracharya did not comment on this sloka. The commentary starts from 2.10.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
1.45  Aho bata etc. We denotes one and all who were divided [into the opposite campus] by the division among the Kauravas and the Pandavas.

When every one is indiscriminate, what act is proper for me, while I am endowed with the faculty to discriminate? Of course, it is proper to turn back from the battle. Yet, says [Arjuna], what is much more proper is this [see next sloka]:


English Translation of Ramanuja's Sanskrit Commentary
1.26 - 1.47 Arjuna said - Sanjaya said  Sanjaya continued:  The high-minded Arjuna, extremely kind, deeply friendly, and supremely righteous, having brothers like himself, though repeatedly deceived by the treacherous attempts of your people like burning in the lac-house etc., and therefore fit to be killed by him with the help of the Supreme Person, nevertheless said, I will not fight.

He felt weak, overcome as he was by his love and extreme compassion for his relatives. He was also filled with fear, not knowing what was righteous and what unrighteous. His mind was tortured by grief, because of the thought of future separation from his relations. So he threw away his bow and arrow and sat on the chariot as if to fast to death.
