Chapter 1, Verses 24-27: Sañjaya narrates to Dhritarashtra that Krishna, upon Arjuna's request, placed their chariot in the midst of the two armies. Arjuna then saw his kinsmen, including elders, teachers, uncles, brothers, sons, grandsons, friends, and well-wishers on both sides. Overcome with deep compassion and sorrow, he expressed his emotional turmoil.
Chapter 1, Verses 28-31: Arjuna, addressing Krishna, revealed his intense emotional and physical distress upon seeing his relatives ready for battle. His body was trembling, his skin burning, and his mind confused. He foresaw bad omens and saw no good in killing his own kin.
Chapter 1, Verse 32: Arjuna declared to Krishna that he had no desire for victory, kingdom, or pleasures, questioning the value of such gains without his loved ones.
Chapter 1, Verse 33: He emphasized that the very people for whom he desired the kingdom and pleasures were now present on the battlefield, having sacrificed their wealth and lives.
Chapter 1, Verse 34: Arjuna specified the loved ones on the opposing side: teachers, paternal uncles, sons, grandfathers, maternal uncles, in-laws, grandsons, cousins, friends, and other relatives.
