← Arjuna's Dilemma

Bhagavad Gita 1.32

Arjuna speaking to Krishna

न काङ्क्षे विजयं कृष्ण न च राज्यं सुखानि च। किं नो राज्येन गोविन्द किं भोगैर्जीवितेन वा ॥

na kāṅkṣhe vijayaṁ kṛiṣhṇa na cha rājyaṁ sukhāni cha kiṁ no rājyena govinda kiṁ bhogair jīvitena vā

For I desire not victory, O Krishna, nor kingdom, nor pleasures; what is kingdom to us, O Govinda, what enjoyment or even life?

In plain words: Arjuna tells Krishna he does not want victory, a kingdom or pleasures. He asks what good any of that is, or even life itself, if it costs this much. Govinda is a name for Krishna.
