The pleasures to which they are wedded, how am I better to enjoy, by taking their places? Pleasures, aye! Dripping with their blood! Let it be that we prepared for war and withdrew, and that the hosts of Dh\u1e5bitar\u0101shtra put a violent end to us; for it seems to me more honorable to be killed by those not knowing right and wrong, than an unjust victory obtained by our destroying them.\u2019 So saying, and reverently and most humbly approaching the feet of Bhagav\u0101n, Arjuna appealed to him thus: \u2018What is decidedly the best for me, – Thy disciple and Thy-refuge seeker- deign to tell me.\u2019 Finding Arjuna thus helpless by misplaced sentiments of friendship and sympathy; finding him mistaking a lawful kshatriya war to be unrighteous; and seeing him also suppliant, desiring to know what is Right (dharma); Bhagav\u0101n Paramapurusha thought that the infatuation under which Arjuna was laboring would not leave him unless the knowledge was imparted to him that the prosecution of a (lawful) warfare preceded by a knowledge of \u0101tm\u0101 (soul)– but carried on without any interest in the result, would itself constitute the means to self-realization (\u0101tma-pr\u0101pti).
