Alas! We are involved in a great sin, in that we are prepared to kill our kinsmen, through greed for the pleasures of a kingdom.

Alas, what a great sin we are resolved to commit, ready to kill our own people out of greed for the pleasures of a kingdom.

Arjuna's tone shifts from argument to lament. With the exclamation alas, he condemns himself and his brothers for being ready to commit a grave sin out of desire for royal pleasures. A little earlier in the chapter he blamed the Kauravas' greed; now he finds the same motive in his own side. The verse shows the depth of his inner turmoil. He no longer sees the war as a just cause but as a shared crime, and he includes himself in the guilt, which makes his despair complete.
