Arjuna’s words of despondency
अर्जुन उवाच :—
दृष्ट्वेमं स्वजनं कृष्ण युयुत्सुं समुपस्थितम् ॥ २८ ॥
सीदन्ति मम गात्राणि मुखं च परिशुष्यति ।
वेपथुश्च शरीरे मे रोमहर्षश्च जायते ॥ २९ ॥

Then the son of Prithā saw arrayed there in both the armies fathers and grandfathers, teachers, maternal uncles, brothers, sons, grandsons and comrades, fathers-in-law and friends.
When the son of Kuntī saw all the kinsmen standing, he was overcome with deepest pity and said thus in sorrow :
Arjuna said :
Seeing these kinsmen, O Kṛṣṇa, arrayed and desirous to fight, my limbs droop down, and my mouth is dried up. A tremor comes on my body and my hairs stand on end.
