and properties and are standing before me, then why should I wish to kill them, though I may survive?0 maintainer of all creatures, I am not prepared to fight with them even in exchange for the three worlds, let alone this earth.

Shloka 35

when all those for whom we may desire all these(victory, kingdom,or happiness) are now arrayed with leaving the hope for life and wealth in this battlefield ?

Shloka 33

Shloka 28-34Disappointment of Arjuna. Arjuna talking about war and his feelings about fighting against his relatives and loved ones.

Bhagvadgeeta

Arjuna became overwhelmed with compassion and spoke dear Krishna, seeing my friends and relatives present before me in such a fighting spirit,

Shloka 28

I feel the limbs of my body quivering and my mouth drying up. My whole body is trembling, and my hair is standing on end.

Shloka 29

My bow Gandiva is slipping from my hand, and my skin is burning.I am now unable to stand here any longer. I am forgetting myself, and my mind is reeling.

Shloka 30

nor can I, Krishna, desire any subsequent victory, kingdom, or happiness. 0 Govinda, of what avail to us are kingdoms, happiness or even life itself.

Shloka 32

0 Madhusudana, when teachers, fathers, sons, grandfathers, maternal uncles, fathers-in-law, grandsons, brothers-in-law, and all relatives are ready to give up their lives

Shloka 34

I foresee only evil, 0 killer of the KeSi demon.I do not see how any good can come from killing my own kinsmen in this battle.

Shloka 31

Arjuna felt everything in the war of mahabharata which any human from kalyuga feels on daily basis. 

The ‘Srimad Bhagwal’ itself is believed to be the gem among all the sacred Puranas as it emphasises on the devotion to Lord. Vishnu’s incarnation, Lord Krishna. It is believed to have been authored by the great sage Vedavyasa when he felt a great unrest troubling his soul after authoring the Mahabharat. Although this Purana itself is believed to be a part of Skanda Purana, it is its lyrical beauty and devotion to Krishna that made it most popular. It enlists 22 incarnations of Lord Vishnu, while other sacred accounts of the Sanatana Dharma believe that there were nine incarnations and one is yet to come. Normally in the Purana, the tales or stories frequently overlap with each other giving emphasis on a different point. Owing to paucity of space, many of the stories have been given a brief mention in this work with the footnote guiding to the sources, to get the full story in the other Puranas. There are also certain variations in the details of the stories which have been also marked within parenthesis. Also, many details mentioned in this Puran which may appear uninteresting, have been deliberately left out. Some of the stories which are well- known have been skipped. For example, the Ramakatha or the details about other incarnations popularised by other sacred sources. The main emphasis in culling out the stories has been on those stories that reveal the basic moral fiber of our ethos. These stories have been recreated keeping in mind the comprehension of our young learners and hence making these stories more logical. This work is only an attempt to make our society recapture its roots. That is why the language and style have been used with great care so as to make the stories readable and comprehensive. It is hoped that our discerning readership will accord it a warm welcome. Lastly, the author wishes to record his gratitude to Narenderji of Diamond Pocket Books whose crusade to publish the gems of our cultural and religious ethos has few parallels in the field of publishing.
