yadyapyete na paśhyanti
lobhopahata-chetasaḥ
kula-kṣhaya-kṛtaṁ dhoṣhaṁ
mitra-drohe cha pāthakam
kathaṁ na jñeyam-asmābhiḥ
pāpād-asmān-nivartitum
kula-kṣhaya-kṛtaṁ doṣhaṁ
prapaśhyadbhir janārdana
Meaning :
"Even if other people with greedy minds see no evil in destroying their own race and see no sin in treason to friends, Why should not we, who clearly see the sin accruing, think of turning away from this crime, O Krishna?."
Comment :
Arjuna indirectly refers to the greedy deeds performed by the Kaurava's and also the treason they performed in the game of dice. He asks to Krishna, even if Kaurava's did all this out of their greed, Why can't us, being intellect and knowing about the consequences of the war, avoid it for the greater good of the family and the race?.
He keeps on urging Krishna to drive away from war by going on telling words to substantiate his claim. Even if Arjuna thinks of himself as Intellect, he forgot his capabilities & duties and is crying like a kid.
