Sinabi ni Arjuna: “At yaong iba pang mga hari na, dahil sa pagkalito ng isip, pipiling lumaban sa akin at sumalungat—lahat sila ay ipapadala ko sa tahanan ni Yama sa pamamagitan ng aking mga palaso.”

The verse highlights how moha (delusion) corrupts judgment and drives rulers into unjust opposition, leading to destruction. It also reflects the stern ethic of kṣatriya warfare: once battle is chosen, consequences are uncompromising.
Arjuna declares his resolve that any kings who, out of deluded counsel or mistaken judgment, take the opposing side and fight him will be slain by his arrows—figuratively ‘sent to Yama’s abode,’ i.e., killed in battle.
