So why are you weeping? Judging by this, your Ātma-jñāna is nil. War is the svadharma of kṣatriyas, is it not? “How can I kill Bhīṣma and the others in battle?” you fret. Brother-in-law! Carry out the duty that has fallen to your share, and be one who has fulfilled what he had to do. (“How shall I, in battle, against Bhīṣma?” Arjuna had said.) You are to kill in battle, not in a house, are you not? As you say, killing in a house would be adharma; but how does it become adharma in battle? Brother-in-law! Has even this much Viveka left you at last!”
