The Bhagavat said, "O Arjuna! At this critical moment, whence did this sinful act come to you, which is practiced by men of low birth and leads to hell, and is inglorious?"
"The Lord said: My beloved friend! Why yield, just on the eve of battle, to this weakness which does no credit to those who call themselves Aryans, and only brings them infamy and bars against them the gates of heaven?
The Lord said Whence comes on you this despondency, O Arjuna, in this crisis? It is unift for a noble person. It is disgraceful and it obstructs one's attainment of heaven.
O Arjuna, in this perilous place, whence has come to you this impurity entertained by unenlightened persons, which does not lead to heaven and which brings infamy?
Whence is this perilous strait come upon thee, this dejection which is unworthy of thee, disgraceful, and which will close the gates of heaven upon thee, O Arjuna?
