BHAGWAD GITA
★Chapter 1★

 
Shloka 36
"nihatya dhartarastran nah ka pritih syaj janardana
papam evasrayed asman hatvaitan atatayinah".
निहत्य धार्तराष्ट्रान्न का प्रीतिः स्याज्जनार्दन ।
पापमेवाश्रयेदस्मान्‌ हत्वैतानाततायिनः ॥
Krsna, how can we hope to be happy slaying the sons of Dhrtarastra; by killing even these desperadoes, sin will surely accrue to us...
Shloka 37
"tasman narha vayam hantum dhartarastran svabandhavan
svajanam hi katham hatva sukhinah syama madhava".
तस्मान्नार्हा वयं हन्तुं धार्तराष्ट्रान्स्वबान्धवान्‌ ।
स्वजनं हि कथं हत्वा सुखिनः स्याम माधव ॥
Therefore, Krsna, it does not behove us to kill our relations, the sons of Dhrtarastra. For, how can we be happy after killing our own kinsmen?
Shloka 38
"yadyapyete na pasyanti lobhopahatacetasah
kulaksayakrtam dosam mitradrohe ca patakam".
यद्यप्येते न पश्यन्ति लोभोपहतचेतसः ।
कुलक्षयकृतं दोषं मित्रद्रोहे च पातकम्‌ ॥
Shloka 39
"katham na jneyam asmabhih papad asman nivartitum
kulaksayakrtam dosam prapasyadbhir janardana".
कथं न ज्ञेयमस्माभिः पापादस्मान्निवर्तितुम्‌ ।
कुलक्षयकृतं दोषं प्रपश्यद्भिर्जनार्दन ॥
Even though these people, with their mind blinded by greed, perceive no evil in destroying their own race and no sin in treason to friends, why should not we, O Krsna,  who see clearly the sin accruing from the destruction of one's family, think of desisting from committing this sin.

THE YOGA OF DEJECTION OF ARJUNA
《1-47 Verses》
Shloka 40
"kulaksaye pranasyanti kuladharmah sanatanah
dharme naste kulam krstnam adharmo'bhibhavatyuta".
कुलक्षये प्रणश्यन्ति कुलधर्माः सनातनाः ।
धर्मे नष्टे कुलं कृत्स्नमधर्मोऽभिभवत्युत ॥
Age-long family traditions disappear with the destruction of a family, and virtue having been lost, vice takes hold of the entire race.
Shloka - 41
"adharmabhibhavat krsna pradusyanti kulastriyah
strisu dustasu varsneya jayate varnasankarah"
अधर्माभिभवात्कृष्ण प्रदुष्यन्ति कुलस्त्रियः ।
स्त्रीषु दुष्टासु वार्ष्णेय जायते वर्णसंकरः ॥
With the preponderance of vice, Krsna, the
women of the family become corrupt; and with the corruption of women, O descendant of Vrsni, there ensues an intermixture of castes.
Shloka 42
"sankaro narakayaiva kulaghnanam kulasya ca
patanti pitaro hyesam luptapindodakakriyah".
संकरो नरकायैव कुलघ्नानां कुलस्य च ।
पतन्ति पितरो ह्येषां लुप्तपिण्डोदकक्रियाः ॥
Progeny owing to promiscuity damns the destroyers of the race as well as the race itself. Deprived of the offerings of rice and water (Sraddha , Tarpana etc.,) the manes of their race also fall.
....to be continued...

Shloka 44

Krsna , we hear that men who have lost their family traditions ,dwell in hell for an indefinite period of time.
Shloka 45
"aho bata mahat papam kartum vyavasita vayam
yad rajyasukhalobhena hantum svajanam udyatah".
अहो बत महत्पापं कर्तुं व्यवसिता वयम्‌ ।
यद्राज्यसुखलोभेन हन्तुं स्वजनमुद्यताः ॥
Oh, what a pity! Though possessed of intelligence we have set our mind on the commission of a great sin; that due to lust for throne and enjoyment we are intent on killing our own kinsmen.
