यद्यप्येते न पश्यन्ति लोभोपहतचेतस: ।
कुलक्षयकृतं दोषं मित्रद्रोहे च पातकम्‌ ।। १.३८ ।।

कथं न ज्ञेयमस्याभि: पापादस्मान्निवर्तितुम्‌ ।
कुलक्षयकृतं दोषं प्रपश्यद्‌भि-र्जनार्दन ।। १.३९ ।।

yady apy ete na paśyanti lobhopahatacetasaḥ ।
kula-kṣaya-kṛtaṁ doṣaṁ mitra-drohe ca pātakaṁ ।। 1.38 ।।

kathaṁ na jñeyamasyābhiḥ pāpādsmānnivartituṁ ।
kula-kṣaya-kṛtaṁ doṣaṁ prapaśyadbhir Janārdana ।। 1.39 ।।

 Even if these, assailed/gripped firmly as they
are, see not the vice in leading to one’own
lineage’s fall. and huge evil in tormenting the
friends, and no sin in fostering enmity to
friends, why should, O Janardana, we not
perceive clearly evil in decline/extinction of
families, desist from this colossal sin?

Note: How great and noble a line of thinking is Arjuna’s!
It should lead every one to think alike, before any social
act is taken up.
