न हि प्रपश्यामि ममापनुद्या
द्यच्छोकमुच्छोषणमिन्द्रियाणाम्।
अवाप्य भूमावसपत्नमृद्धम्
राज्यं सुराणामपि चाधिपत्यम्।।2.8।।
।।2.8।।पृथ्वीपर धनधान्यसमृद्ध और निष्कण्टक राज्य तथा स्वर्गमें देवताओंका आधिपत्य मिल जाय तो भी इन्द्रियोंको सुखानेवाला मेरा जो शोक है वह दूर हो जाय ऐसा मैं नहीं देखता हूँ।
2.8 Sri Sankaracharya did not comment on this sloka. The commentary starts from 2.10.
2.8 See Comment under 2.10
2.6 - 2.8 If you say, After beginning the war, if we withdraw from the battle, the sons of Dhrtarastra will slay us all forcibly, be it so. I think that even to be killed by them, who do not know the difference between righteousness and unrighteousness, is better for us than gaining unrighteous victory by killing them. After saying so, Arjuna surrendered himself at the feet of the Lord, overcome with dejection, saying. Teach me, your disciple, who has taken refuge in you, what is good for me.
