Uitleg

Arjuna draws his conclusion: we should not kill Dhritarashtra's sons, our own relatives. He closes with a question that appeals to ordinary human feeling: how could anyone be happy after killing his family? The argument is now complete on the level of feeling and personal ethics. In the verses that follow, Arjuna will widen it to the level of society and tradition, warning of what the destruction of families brings. Here the focus is still simple and personal, the impossibility of joy built on such loss.
