Chapter 2
Link:—What Arjuna did after saying that, even possession of material objects would not relieve him of his grief is contained, in the verse that follows
sanjaya uvaca
evamuktva hrsikesam gudakesah parantapa
na yotsya iti govindamuktvä tusnim babhuva ha
Sanjaya said:
0 scorcher of enemies, after addressing the indwelling lord than, Arjuna, the conqueror of sleep, mid to Him, "I'll not fight", and became silent.9
Comment:-
Evamuktva hrsikesam gudakesah parantapa na yotsya iti govindamuktvä tusnim bahhuva ha:-Arjuna honoured the Lord's word and wanted to obey it. But after thinking seriously, over what Lord Krsna had said and applying his own mind to his thoughts, came to the conclusion, that war could result in providing him with an affluent kingdom, honour and fame. But it would not wipe out his grief, worry and misery. Therefore, it was not befitting for him to wage war. So Arjuna speaks his mind in clear words "I'll not fight."
Having declared his decision not to fight, and having nothing more to say, Arjuna became quiet.
