← Arjuna's Dilemma

Bhagavad Gita 1.33

Arjuna speaking to Krishna

येषामर्थे काङ्क्षितं नो राज्यं भोगाः सुखानि च। त इमेऽवस्थिता युद्धे प्राणांस्त्यक्त्वा धनानि च ॥

yeṣhām arthe kāṅkṣhitaṁ no rājyaṁ bhogāḥ sukhāni cha ta ime ’vasthitā yuddhe prāṇāṁs tyaktvā dhanāni cha

Those for whose sake we desire kingdom, enjoyments and pleasures, they stand here in battle, abandoning life and riches—

In plain words: Arjuna says the very people he would want a kingdom and happy life for are the ones standing here, ready to die. Winning would mean nothing without them.
