Chapter 1 · Verse 31
Arjuna Visada Yoga
अर्जुनविषादयोग
In plain words
This guides you to feel the deep confusion that arises when your moral compass seems entirely lost. When you only see negative outcomes, you are blinded by maya, the worldly illusion that distorts your understanding of right and wrong. True clarity comes only when you look past immediate fears and seek the ultimate path of righteousness.
Translation
1.31 I see, Krsna, inauspicious omens. I foresee no good in killing my kinsmen in the fight.
Meaning
Kesava means he who has fine or luxuriant hair.
