VerseBhagavad Gita
Bhagavad Gita 1.38
Arjuna notes that greed blinds the Kauravas to the harm of destroying a family.
यद्यप्येते न पश्यन्ति लोभोपहतचेतसः।
कुलक्षयकृतं दोषं मित्रद्रोहे च पातकम्॥
yady apy ete na paśyanti lobhopahata-cetasaḥ
kula-kṣaya-kṛtaṃ doṣaṃ mitra-drohe ca pātakam
Translation
Even if these men, their minds overpowered by greed, do not see the fault in destroying a family or the sin in betraying friends,
Hindi
यद्यपि लोभ से भ्रष्ट चित्त वाले ये लोग कुल के विनाश से उत्पन्न दोष और मित्र से द्रोह करने के पाप को नहीं देखते,
Commentary
Arjuna admits the other side is blinded by greed, and then turns the point on himself: if they cannot see the harm, those who can see it carry the responsibility to refrain. The sentence is completed in 1.39. The two verses should be read together.
