Further having regard to your duty you should not falter, there is nothing better than a lawful war for a warrior.
Why don't you even now consider it carefully? What are you thinking now? You seem to have become totally forgetful of your duty, which alone can save you (176-180). Even if something worse were to happen to the Kauravas or to yourselves, or even if this world cycle were to come to an end now, there is still your duty, which you should not renounce at any cost. Do you think that this compassion will save you? O Arjuna, that your heart should melt with compassion now is improper at the time of war. If cow's milk, which is good, is not prescribed as part of a diet, it may work like poison to a patient suffering form enteric fever. So if one takes a wrong step at the wrong time, one will go to ruin. So be on your guard (181-185). Why do you worry for no reason?
