utsanna-kula-dharmāṇāṁ
manuṣhyāṇāṁ janārdana
narake-niyataṁ vāso
bhavatīty-anuśhuśhruma
Meaning :
"Krishna, we have heard that, those people who have lost their traditions shall dwell in hell for an indefinite period of time."
Comment :
Arjuna now tries to connect his statements with afterlife and says that those people who lost the traditions of family, shall dwell in hell without a return. The confirmation bias as explained in previous verses is seen to be continued here also.
Arjuna is in a great dilemma about the war and its consequences. Even though he doesn't show any doubts regarding their victory, he is constantly being fearful about "What after the victory?". This is the last attempt made by Arjuna to try and put an end to the war. Still, Krishna remained silent.
