I do not see that it would remove this sorrow that burns up my senses, even if I should attain prosperous and unrivalled dominion on earth or lordship over the gods.

I see nothing that could drive away this grief that dries up my senses, not even if I gained an unrivalled, prosperous kingdom on earth or lordship over the gods.

Arjuna explains why he needs a teacher. His grief is so deep that it dries up his senses, and he can imagine no outer gain that would cure it, not an unrivalled kingdom on earth and not even rule over the gods. The verse rules out the usual rewards of victory as solutions. Whatever Krishna offers will have to address the grief itself, not distract from it with promises of power. This sets the direction of the chapter: the answer will be about understanding and inner steadiness rather than about winning.
