Shloka 43
🌟 Sanskrit:
दोषैरेतैः कुलघ्नानां वर्णसङ्करकारकैः |
उत्साद्यन्ते जातिधर्माः कुलधर्माश्च शाश्वताः ||
🌟 Transliteration:
doṣair etaiḥ kula-ghnānāṁ varṇa-saṅkara-kārakaiḥ |
utsādyante jāti-dharmāḥ kula-dharmāś ca śāśvatāḥ ||
🌟 Meaning:
"Due to the evil deeds of these destroyers of the family, which cause the mixing of social orders, the eternal community traditions (jati-dharma) and family traditions (kula-dharma) are destroyed."
🌟 Explanation:
Arjuna summarizes his point: the actions of those who destroy a family have far-reaching consequences. The resulting social chaos completely uproots the timeless customs of both the community and the family, leading to a total loss of cultural and moral identity. 🌳🔥
Shloka 44
🌟 Sanskrit:
उत्सन्नकुलधर्माणां मनुष्याणां जनार्दन |
नरके नियतं वासो भवतीत्यनुशुश्रुम ||
🌟 Transliteration:
utsanna-kula-dharmāṇāṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ janārdana |
narake niyataṁ vāso bhavatīty anuśuśruma ||
🌟 Meaning:
"O Janardana (Krishna), we have heard that those men whose family traditions have been destroyed dwell indefinitely in hell."
🌟 Explanation:
Arjuna quotes the wisdom he has been taught (anuśuśruma - "we have heard from authorities"). He states that according to scripture, a person who is disconnected from their family dharma and traditions is condemned to a hellish existence. This shows that his fear is based on established spiritual teachings. 📜🔥
Shloka 45
🌟 Sanskrit:
अहो बत महत्पापं कर्तुं व्यवसिता वयम् |
यद्राज्यसुखलोभेन हन्तुं स्वजनमुद्यताः ||
🌟 Transliteration:
aho bata mahat pāpaṁ kartuṁ vyavasitā vayam |
yad rājya-sukha-lobhena hantuṁ sva-janam udyatāḥ ||
🌟 Meaning:
"Alas! How strange it is that we are prepared to commit such a great sin, driven by the greed for a kingdom and its pleasures, to kill our own kinsmen."
🌟 Explanation:
Arjuna expresses sheer astonishment at their situation. The word "aho!" conveys his shock and regret. He sees their actions with sudden, brutal clarity: they are about to commit a terrible sin (mahat pāpam) for the temporary and selfish desire for power and pleasure. It's a moment of profound self-condemnation. 😥👑
Today’s Takeaway
Beware the Slippery Slope of Greed. Greed for power, pleasure, or wealth can blind us to the severe consequences of our actions. Arjuna’s despair serves as a powerful reminder to constantly check our motivations. Are we acting for a higher purpose, or are we being driven by a desire that will ultimately lead to our own ruin and the suffering of others? 🤔🛑
