Bhagavad Gita 1.26-1.27: Arjuna Sees His Family on the Field

Shlokas 1.26 – 1.30 Meaning: Seeing his teachers, grandfathers, and cousins, Arjuna is overcome by intense pity. He tells Krishna that his limbs are failing, his mouth is parching, his body is trembling, and his bow, Gandiva, is slipping from his hand. He feels he is unable to stand and his mind is reeling.
