अहं हनिष्ये स्वशरीरमेव प्रसह्य येनाहितमाचरं वै | पुरुषोत्तम भगवान् श्रीकृष्णके इस प्रकार पूछनेपर अर्जुन अत्यन्त दुःखी हो उनसे इस प्रकार बोले--'भगवन्! मैंने जिसके द्वारा हठपूर्वक भाईका अपमानरूप अहितकर कार्य कर डाला है, अपने उस शरीरको ही अब नष्ट कर डालूँगा”
Translation
When the Purushottama, Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa, questioned him thus, Arjuna, plunged in grief, replied: “Lord! By this very body I have, in stubbornness, committed a harmful deed—the disgraceful insult of my brother. Therefore now I shall destroy this body itself.”
