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.

ERLÄUTERUNG: Zu Beginn war Śrī Kṛṣṇa über Arjunas unangebrachte Worte des Mitleids erstaunt gewesen, und Er sagte, sein Mitleid sei den Nicht-Āryas angemessen. Nun hat Er Seine Einwände gegen Arjunas sogenanntes Mitleid ausführlich erläutert.
