Bhagavad Gita 2.6
Arjuna cannot tell whether winning or losing is better when the enemy is his own kin.
न चैतद्विद्मः कतरन्नो गरीयो
यद्वा जयेम यदि वा नो जयेयुः।
यानेव हत्वा न जिजीविषाम
स्तेऽवस्थिताः प्रमुखे धार्तराष्ट्राः॥
na caitad vidmaḥ kataran no garīyo
yad vā jayema yadi vā no jayeyuḥ
yān eva hatvā na jijīviṣāmas
te 'vasthitāḥ pramukhe dhārtarāṣṭrāḥ
Translation
Arjuna admits he cannot tell which is the heavier outcome, his side winning or the other side winning. The sons of Dhritarashtra stand in front of him, and if he killed them he would no longer want to live.
Hindi
अर्जुन मानते हैं कि वे यह नहीं जान पाते कि कौन सा परिणाम भारी है, उनकी जीत या उनकी हार। सामने धृतराष्ट्र के पुत्र खड़े हैं, और उन्हें मारकर तो वे जीना भी नहीं चाहेंगे।
Commentary
Arjuna is honest about his confusion: even victory looks like defeat. The sons of Dhritarashtra are his own cousins, and the thought of their deaths drains all meaning from winning. After 2.5 his confusion becomes a request for guidance in 2.7.
