।।1.45।। यह बड़े आश्चर्य और खेद की बात है कि हमलोग बड़ा भारी पाप करने का निश्चय कर बैठे हैं, जो कि राज्य और सुख के लोभ से अपने स्वजनों को मारने के लिये तैयार हो गये हैं!

English Translation of Abhinavgupta's Sanskrit Commentary By 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 By Swami Adidevananda

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.

English Translation By By Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

1.45. Alas! What a great sinful act have we resolved to undertake ! For, out of greed for the joy of kingdom, we are striving to slay our own kinsfolk !

English Translation by Shri Purohit Swami

1.45 Alas, it is strange that we should be willing to kill our own countrymen and commit a great sin, in order to enjoy the pleasures of a kingdom.
