Explication

Arjuna explains why victory would be empty. A kingdom is wanted in order to share it with family and friends, yet those very people now stand ready to die on the field. To win would mean destroying the people for whom the winning was meant. The argument is humane and logical within its frame. It shows that Arjuna thinks of rule not as private gain but as something enjoyed with others, which sets him apart from Duryodhana's earlier talk of men dying for my sake.
