Arjuna spoke. Sanjaya spoke. But that Partha, great of soul, supremely compassionate, a lifelong kinsman, supremely righteous, who together with his brothers had again and again been deceived by your people with the cruellest attempts at murder, the house of lac and the rest, and who even so had the supreme Person himself for his helper, now, seeing your people about to be slain, with every limb drenched with sweat out of love for his kinsmen, out of the deepest pity, and out of fear of merit and demerit, said 'I will not fight at all'; and, his mind distraught with the grief born of the parting from kinsmen, he cast away his bow with its arrow and sat down on the seat of the chariot.
