"O Janardhana, I heard that those who destroy the sacred customs of their families endure an eternal sojourn in hell." Commentary Arjuna expresses his concern, acknowledging that he has heard that the disruptive actions of those who disregard and violate the established customs and duties of their family lineage result in negative consequences, leading to a place of suffering and anguish known as hell. Arjuna's words reflect his apprehension about the potential consequences of engaging in the battle against his own relatives and loved ones. He understands that such actions can disrupt the order and values within a family, leading to a breakdown of familial bonds and the loss of moral and ethical foundations. |
