I do not foresee any good in killing my own kinsmen in the battle. O Krsna! I neither wish for victory, nor kingdom, nor the pleasures thereof.
What good can come from the slaughter of my people on this battlefield? Ah my Lord! I crave not for victory, nor for the kingdom, nor for any pleasure.
I see, Krsna, inauspicious omens. I foresee no good in killing my kinsmen in the fight.
Besides, I do not see any good (to be derived) from killing my own people in battle. O Krishna, I do not hanker after victory, nor even a kingdom nor pleasures.
And I see adverse omens, O Kesava! I do not see any good in killing my kinsmen in battle.

I am unable even to stand steady; my mind seems to be confused; and I see adverse omens, O Kesava!
I cannot keep quiet, for my mind is in tumult. The omens are adverse.
The bow Gandiva slips from my hand and my skin is burning. I can stand no longer. My mind seems to reel.
Moreover, O Keshava (Krishna), I am not able to stand firmly, and my mind seems to be whirling. And I notice the omens to be adverse.
The (bow) “Gandiva” slips from my hand and my skin burns all over; I am unable even to stand, my mind is reeling, as it were.
