CHAPTER 1 · VERSE 45
Bhagavad Gita 1.45
यदि मामप्रतीकारमशस्त्रं शस्त्रपाणयः। धार्तराष्ट्रा रणे हन्युस्तन्मे क्षेमतरं भवेत्॥
It would be far better for me if the sons of Dhritarashtra, weapons in hand, were to slay me unresisting and unarmed in battle.
Overwhelmed by grief, Arjuna expresses willingness to die rather than participate in fratricide.
