Chapter 1: Arjun Viṣhād Yog(1.45-1.46)

Chapter : 1
aho bata mahat pāpaṁ kartuṁ vyavasitā vayam
yad rājya-sukha-lobhena hantuṁ sva-janam udyatāḥ||45||

yadi mām apratīkāram aśhastraṁ śhastra-pāṇayaḥ
dhārtarāṣhṭrā raṇe hanyus tan me kṣhemataraṁ bhavet||46||

Meaning : Oh, what a great sin we are about to commit, driven by greed for the kingdom and pleasure, by trying to kill our own relatives.If the sons of Dhritarashtra kill me unarmed and defenseless in battle, that would be better for me.
