Lord Kṛṣṇa was astonished in the beginning at Arjuna’s uncalled-for plea for compassion, and He described his compassion as befitting the non-Āryans. Now in so many words, He has proved His statements against Arjuna’s so-called compassion.

FORKLARING: Til at begynde med var Herren Kṛṣṇa forbløffet over Arjunas malplacerede appel om barmhjertighed, og Han beskrev hans medfølelse som passende en ikke-arier. Med disse ord har Han nu godtgjort Sine udtalelser over for Arjunas såkaldte medfølelse.
